Don't have the horsepower "problem" that you do with your mods. I've driven in some slushy stuff a couple of times with my wintersport M3's and the Beast has handled just fine. I do switch the transmission to 'C'.

Believe it or not Jak I drove my E55 through last year's winter on snows... it was actually not too bad, but I really hated doing that to my car. I recently canceled my Z06 order and found a good deal on an Audi S4... even came with snow tires. Fun isn't the word to describe this car in the snow... it's unreal. The +200hp over stock helps too

I am in Glenview. I ran Dunlop M3s on my E55... made winter driving very tolerable. Ran M2s on my W210 E55. Both performed very well even in the worst conditions.

Mine has been tucked away also in a climate controlled storage garage with some other nice cars. I live in Wisconsin and will never drive a nice car in the winter. The salt gets into places you can't even imagine and you can't get it out. The little pacman guys are chewing on your metal 24/7 after that and all the bolts rust up and that nice factory freshness is gone forever. Just **** me. I drive an SUV in the winter and let the pacmans chew on that. They get hamburger, not steak!
