Hi all..

So I have lived in SoCal for sometime now and moving to Milwaukee in a month.

I bought my first pre-owned bmw 2010 328i hardtop convertible in Q2 2018. Ended up in a fender bender in Q4 2019. Buy price = $21k, Sell price = $7k Miles at purchase = 75k, Miles at Sell = 100k

Then again😅, bought bmw 2018 430i hardtop convertible in Q1 2020 and now But price = 32k, Current market price = 13k Miles at purchase = 35k, Current Miles = 86k

Ofc not to say I have spent 1-1.5k each for maintenance/repairs for BMW.

My warranty expires in February 2025.

In my next job, I'll be driving probably 72 miles everyday for work, 5 days a week in Milwaukee.

I'm sure I can get winter tires, I do love driving my convertible but I know as the years pass the car will require more repairs and with no warranty its going to get super expensive. Also this BMW is kinda old when it comes to features, no seat warmers or neck warmers or steering wheel heaters. No touch screen. It has worked fine for me, but I feel like warmers will be necessary for Milwaukee weather..

I wanted ask you guys for some advice..

Should I keep my BMW and buy a pretty cheap pre-owned vehicle for the MKE weather OR should I sell my BMW, and buy a pre-owned decent valued vehicle, safe for snow/icy weather of MKE?

Also please send me your suggestions on which vehicle would you recommend? Please know I'll be very the only one driving it... as I'm single 😁

I own a 2016 Honda accord coupe, and I’m from a southern state in the US that never sees any snow. I’m planning on moving up to the northeast soon, do I need a different car or specific tires? I have zero experience with living or driving in an actual winter climate.

Hi all, I live in an extremely cold climate, to the point where temperatures may drop below -30 Celsius without wind chill.

My F30 has always had the privilege of being kept in heated underground parking, but sadly this winter it will need to tough out life in a partially-insulated, unheated garage.

I’ve accepted it’s nearly impossible to install a block heater on this car, so I’ve research two alternatives for fluids.

1. An infrared heater “somewhere nearby” the car ran for 1-2 hours before starting

2. An oil pan heater stuck on and ran for 1-2 hours before starting.

I’ve avoided forced air heaters as I do not believe the garage is insulated well enough for them to have any impact.

I’m also wondering if independent of those two, I should connect a battery trickle charge…

Would love to hear any advice or ideas you might have!

So basically like the title says i didn’t drive my car for about 2 days and had a whole sheet of ice on the inside of my car. Is there anyway to stop this. I’ve got to get another moisture absorber thing but it doesn’t always do the trick. I’m assuming since my car is parked in the sun that there’s condensation from where the snow came in on my boots and it’s collecting and re freezing overnight. Any suggestions on how to eliminate or help? is this common?

Looking to get winter tires & wheels for my 2019 Kia Forte EX (225/45R17). I want Blizzak WS90s based on several reviews I’ve seen and leaning towards steel wheels. Any advice as to if that sounds good and any idea how much I should be expecting to pay? I found some WS90s at Tire Rack for $181.99/ tire and steel wheels for $116.27/wheel. Is this reasonable or should I look elsewhere? I’m planning to keep this car for years and put winter tires on each year.

Hi,

Moving to a much colder much snowier place and need a car. Was wondering how a 4x2 Ford Ranger would hold up?

Any tips are appreciated.

Winter has been late for most of us, but it is here now! Just a reminder that no matter what vehicle you drive, what tires you have, how good of a driver you believe you are, snow and ice will still beat us. Poor conditions just mean to be more aware and drive slower. Cars don't look as good in pictures if you destroy them.

Second, coming up on the new year (and nearing 500 subs) I would like to find another moderator to revamp this page. Someone with CSS experience on Reddit would be great as I have some ideas in mind. If any of you have ideas to add to the page, I will gladly consider them. Send me a message expressing your interest, as well as other subs you coded for (not mandatory) and I will get back to you!

I live in Montana and I just got a new 2018 Crosstrek Manual ( :D lucky me). I am looking into buying snow tires, but which ones should I get?
