BMW’s in Extreme Weather

Yes, but barely. Here in Cincinnati, where it was +8F this morning, the window on my E92 froze in the closed position, and I had to warm up the car to get the door closed properly. Those frame-less windows are sexy, but not real practical in cold climates!

I was impressed. I’m here in Chicago as well and Jessica started right up. I do park in the garage, but it’s not heated and was still plenty cold. Also, my car is barely 6 months old and has less than 7,000 miles on her. I’d have been really ticked if it didn’t start well. I’ve had her parked outside all day here at the office – hopefully still will start up with no issues.

A bit of an extreme from the temperature here in Canberra yesterday which was nudging 103°F.

I was doing well over 100mph in an E70 X5 with it registering 7 degrees. Still was rock solid and running smoothly.

Won’t be too rock solid when you slide on an icy road going “well over 100mph.”

The roads were dry. Was just a very cold morning. We were actually just passing the Salt Flats too
