DJKapeesh Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 New to Wisconsin from Georgia. My name is Jordon & I relocated here this past month for a 2 year assignment for work. I was a member of ATLBimmers in Georgia for the past 5 years and have had 3 BMWs. Currently I brought my most recent BMW with me to Milwaukee where I stay by. Vehicle: 135i 2012 BMW, Alpine White w/ red interior (DCT) although I prefer stick personally :/Looking forward to meeting everyone and would really appreciate advise for the upcoming winter!

B C Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Angel Jordon and Devil Jordan As far as winter. Where are you located? Diy car washes are sparse and any car wash becomes jam packed during the handfull of days above freezing. It saves a lot of stress to have the winter beater that can marinate in salt for 5 months.

jc43089 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree with the winter beater advice, If you absolutely have to drive the 1 then get a gallon of Fluid Film and spray the whole bottom of the car, it stays waxy and will prevent rust. It is a yearly application as it will slowly disappear. DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMWben Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Welcome! I actually live down in South Carolina during the school year (I go to The Citadel in Charleston). I have a quick question for you, do you know of any southeast or maybe even South Carolina forum/clubs I could get into? I'm having trouble connecting down here and it seems like all the forum I do find are dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I didn't budget for winter beeter unless someone will be willing to take payments of $500 a month for one. Otherwise it looks like I will be using the gallon of waxy stuff suggested about :/ Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Please let me know any other meets of gathering you will be having you can get a beater for 500 bucks and usually fix it up a bit. I got my corolla for free cuz it didn't start and had been sitting for 10 months - $8 in spark plugs later from autozone, fresh oil and a fresh gallon of gas, and 2.5 minutes of cranking, the car turned over. If you aren't getting a beater, then you absolutely should get snow tires for your 1er. But if you get snow tires, I would assert that the same dollar amount would buy you a beater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJKapeesh Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Have you driven in snow before? Once snow and twice Ice (which we mostly get in Georgia) and they don't plow it. How ever I am living in New Berlin and travelling into Milwaukee where I hear they plow. you can get a beater for 500 bucks and usually fix it up a bit.

But if you get snow tires, I would assert that the same dollar amount would buy you a beater I was debating a beater but my main concerns are:Breaking down in the snow and cold, and heat and comfort of course. I was all for buying the beeter but I am slighty looking forward to the morning self start timer for the heat that comes with my IDrive..... I'm planning on having my coolant, battery done next week and looking at possible winter/ or allseason tires. Any suggestions? This is of course If I don't go the beater option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
