Which would you take? (Snow content)

[ArsE92]

The snow is coming down pretty heavy here now (North West England) and I've got an appointment 15 miles away in Liverpool that I cannot miss, later this afternoon. I've taken a day WFH so that I can get to this appointment. It should be mostly main roads to get there.

Would you take the BMW with 300bhp on 19" run-flats with RWD?

Or, the MINI with 170bhp on 17" run-flats with FWD?

The man in me wants to take the BMW as I'm sure it won't be as bad as people say. I went out on Saturday, disabled all traction control, and it was fine. But the snow is a lot heavier today.

I'm sure the MINI will just cut through the snow, but again the run-flats won't help.

If I get stuck in either car I won't be able to deflate the tyres any.

You decide.

I know, first world problems.

Take the Mini. You'll still get stuck but at least you won't look like a total

Mini if you really need to get there. The Beemer would probably make it though, a lot of it is down to the driver.

Take the mini and a shovel and have fun.

The BMW will get stuck as soon as you lose momentum on a hill where the snow has been driven on / made icy.

My 335 on normal rubber was terrible, as were it's brakes due to the Abs making it useless on snow.

MINI it is then! Probably the sensible option.
