[ZedsDeadbabyZedzdead]

Hi zedders not Zeerrs as we are in the uk

What tried and tested tips do you have to prepare your car for the snow and ice ?

For example Gummipflege the sills etc

Winter / All Season tyres oke: :rofl:

In all seriousness, last winter I was still running summer tyres and the only winter prep I did was to use some -10C rated screen wash haha! Still used it nearly every day!

I should probably gummi the door seals and window seal though...

I leave it in the garage and walk

1 - If your battery is on the edge, replace it now.

2 - Cold temps lower the air pressure in your tires, air up when the cold hits.

3 - Windshield washer fluid (and headlight washer if you have them) make sure you have fluid designed for the lowest temp expected.

4 - Check coolant for proper expected temperature range.

5 - Have some commonsense "emergency" supplies in the trunk (blankets and the like).

6 - A fresh coat of wax or other paint sealant can't hurt.

7 - Keep an ice scraper/snow brush in the car. A pair of gloves or mittens in case you don't have them with you all winter anyway.

That's about all I can think of now. Luckily my Z hibernates but I do have to prepare other vehicles...I hate winter !

Yep. Why anyone would want to drive a convertible everyday in Winter baffles me.

No reason not too; for a few years my Z4 was my only car and I was impressed how it handled rural scotland snow; on all seasons grip was pretty good and only the deepest of snow was a no-go.

Convertible Z4 are only for the people who can’t afford the roof oke: :fuelfire:
