Do any of you use driving gloves?

I noticed BMW sells M driving gloves. Do any of you guys/gals use driving gloves? Seems like they would feel awkward while driving.

Don't need them...have heated steering wheel on my F80 when necessary.

Seems just a little pretentious...

I think they're intended for racing.

They aren't if you are actually using them for better grip in the steering wheel.

My hands get dry and makes for a slippery steering wheel at times. Not a great combo for car control of you are taking some corners

Valid point...maybe an alcantara surface steering wheel would help.

No

SakhirM4 · 01-24-2016, 07:34 PM

Only on the golf course.

Mantii · 01-24-2016, 08:10 PM

MNoob · 01-24-2016, 08:13 PM

I use them. Keeps my finger safe when I "signal".

M4Now! · 01-24-2016, 08:37 PM

the worst part about wearing driving gloves, is telling your parents that you are gay.

Rockapotomuses · 01-24-2016, 08:54 PM

I always got a chuckle out of the driving gloves in the BMW ads during street driving.

racsos · 01-24-2016, 09:11 PM

hahaha i am all for making fun of everyone that uses them......................but I LOVE THEM lol

i know flame away. I would flame me too if i were you

I don't get the steering wheel all greasy and they feel awesome when driving. Almost like when you get the new golf glove and put it on for the first time. yeah you know what I am talking about

INDVDL///M · 01-24-2016, 09:13 PM

We use driving gloves since we have the alcantara M Performance wheels on the E90 and F80.

It is also motivation for us to not eat chips in the car....

larryn · 01-24-2016, 09:33 PM

Alpine Stars and Nomex lined, but only on the track, otherwise.. douchebaggery.

robertg · 01-24-2016, 10:27 PM

I use the M gloves. Keeps my steering wheel from getting oily. Which is the only reason I use them.

Scott@Radar-Mirror.com · 01-24-2016, 10:31 PM

No gloves unless I'm racing MX

SROC3 · 01-24-2016, 10:47 PM

On long trips my hands get clammy and sweaty. I keep a microfiber towel handy. However on some recent trips I've been doing a lot of canyon driving and mountain passes. It's been making me consider getting a pair of nice gloves for that specific kind of driving. The whole sweaty-palms thing gets old after a while.

Fast4d · 01-24-2016, 11:09 PM

I used driving gloves in the 1980s

I also wore white pants

solstice · 01-24-2016, 11:32 PM

Good one.

RobbyMack · 01-24-2016, 11:58 PM

Men don't need gloves in the car or on the golf course.
