:sad:

I feel your pain. I know it may not apply to you as it is garaged for the winter, but aren't winter tires required in Germany? If so - from when to when?

At least you get to enjoy the car in its home habitat some months of the year!

Depending on where in GER you live you even don't have to expect much snow, but a lot of rain and dirt and also salt from dec to feb. therefore my m4 mainly stays inside during winter as well.

Winter tires are required from 1 Nov to 31 Mar. I would drive it in the winter, but they salt the shit out of the roads and all it does is rain with heavy fog. Pretty shitty weather in the winter. Not a ton of snow, but plenty of other shitty weather.

Mine stays on the road year long over here in Chicago. I just take it to a wash every week or 2 to get rid of the salt underneath. I've got a daily driver, but this car is too much fun to drive to keep it stored for months.

Unfortunately winter storage doesn't stop the car parts buying...might actually make it worse

i'll still drive mine from time to time as long as the streets are clear. Salt isn't really the enemy... its the salt+water and then putting your car back in a warm garage. Thats what causes the chemical reaction and corrosion.

i drive both my 458 and M3 in winter even if its 20 degrees.
