Show us your Winters - Evoqess - 26-11-2011 09:20pm
This thread might not be at all relevant for our friends in Australia or other warm climates
I'm very happy with my 18 inch BBS CF wheels and Bridgestone DM-V1 winter tires. They started their life last season on a FL2 so got a great price for near new, pre-owned.
A couple of iPhone snaps from Cypress Mountain yesterday (about 30 minute drive).

Looks great with the winterwonderland background.
You are so lucky having the mountains and skiing so close. My friends daughter flew out on Thursday for a season in whistler...I'm so jealous.
Back to the car...I'm sure they give you loads of grip. What will you put on in the spring?

Thanks Daigriff! Yes Whistler/Blackcomb is amazing. I guess living in an earthquake zone makes for some incredible mountains! I'm an avid "extreme" outdoors fanatic (hehe, I mean extreme snowshoeing as I value my knee ligaments too much!).
I must say the car feels invincible now, grippy and slightly more road noise as expected. I'm a more confident driver. In the spring it will be back to my 19 inch style 4s. I do like nice alloys but living in an apartment (true Vancouver style) means storage of extra wheels would be very tricky!

Look great, thanks for the post, (and all your posts, especially for being so upbeat and helpful). We have snow in the Northern mountains, but no Evoque yet.

Yours look fantastic and the weather is just so right. You're lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world and have a lovely motor too. Enjoy the snow. If anyone can give some basic advice on posting a photo I'd appreciate it as I've tried to add an attachment and nothing happened.

Looks great Evoqess, like the wheels and good to hear it improves traction and confidence, did you sort out the TPMS?

Thanks Phil, That's what I tried so I guess it must have been too big....just like my waist line

Looks fantastic..

Looks great.
I can categorically confirm that after two years of winter where I could not get my BMW out we will now have no snow in southern England this year.
Why - because I have now bought a 4x4
