I give up.........

At times like these, and usually on a Saturday night, I tend to call Uber

I came home late last night to find my sloping long driveway under a blanket of snow. Just how the F**K do you get a Z4 up a slope in the snow? Tried so many things and failed.

Like yourself I had a red 2.0m plus a slope down to my house and until I sold it last October I used to run it on winter tyres and had no problems in the snow. Have a look on You Tube for comparison tests of cars on summer and winter tyres trying to climb up Tamworth Snowdome and you may be surprised.

I traded my car in for a VW T-Roc which I drove unhappily for six months until I traded it in last week for an Audi TT which is now stuck on my drive as I can't get it up the slope until the snow clears a bit

Ian, a TT

To be honest I couldn't afford a decent Z4 so went for second best. It's not a bad car but Audi don't believe in giving you much tech and of all the silly things to miss it's the climate control as I'm forever fiddling with the heating controls.

Tbh Ian it was one of the serious considerations when we bought the M40i. But a fully spec’d on was circa £5k at least dearer than the Z4 iirc. Is it a coupe or roadster?

Up here just now it’s heating banged right up, no option

Andy. It's a roadster. 2019 one owner with only 17,500 miles on the clock with full Audi service history. It's a TFSI 40 S-Line auto so I'd guess that the one you considered was higher up the power scale. It's my first non BMW for 15 years

I know this may sound a strange thing to try but if the snow is not too deep and the incline not too steep, turn off all driving aids such as traction control. The car will skid a bit at first but it does work as long as you are gentle on the loud pedal and in second gear.

Ian, if it suits your needs low mileage, history etc and importantly a roadster

It was the TTRS we were looking at, about the same power as the M40i but 4WD.
