Most BMW's are rear wheel drive and **** in the snow. Unless you've got one of those Alpina AWD models. My Touraeg has handled the snow like a ****ing boss. Unlike most SUV's that are just AWD, the touareg is a proper 4x4 with low ratio and diff lock, so you can tackle hills in the snow with ease.

Most people though just don't know how to drive in the snow and just go for it and hope. The trick is to keep your speed and revs low, look for the line of traction, plan the road ahead for inclines and dab the brakes when needed. Saw loads of people just flooring it in the hope that momentum would get them through and they just end up sliding all over the place.

Lovely cars but they'd lose it of some twat spat on the road on front of them!

A lot of it comes down to having the right tyres too. In the UK we just don’t really need winter tyres so people get caught out when it snows.

I drove a 2WD Kia in Poland on proper spiked winter tyres and that handled it fine.

I bloody love it..

Picked it up from derby then went for lunch in Birmingham city centre. My suspicions were correct, People on the road are nicer to you in a jag than they were in the Beamer.

It’s because they assume you’re old mate.

Leave a trilby on the back parcel shelf for added safety <ok>

Pair of leather driving gloves on the dash will also ensure no **** prangs it with his door at the supermarket too.

Must admit that I had that reservation when I was looking at Jags the other day. I’m older than Sweats but not by much!
