Not so good...
emabarassingly blocked road this morning as I was forced to stop by car in front on a hill !!! No traction after that point, just stuck with a que of cars behind. Some obliging public, a bag of grit and brute force got me on way, much to the amusement of everyone else. All good fun in the end...

I had little trouble in mine this morning. A lot easier to get around in the XKR than in the Z4M. The XKR as some weight so the tyres get some traction. Just have to be very easy on the accelerator.

Annoying that you can't put the car in a higher gear and keep it there. Damn thing kept wanting to change down. In the end I put it in sport mode and turned the traction control to track.

Is there a snow setting I haven't found?
