Didn’t get as much snow as expected, it’s cold now and it will rain next weekend, gotta love Wisco weather
For real, I'm disappointed lol. But I'm excited to take the snowmobile out... wish it wasn't going to rain.
Here's one CHECK THE AIR IN YOUR SPARE TIRE. My wife called me with a flat, so when I arrived to change it the spare tire was flat. I hadn't checked it since I bought the car in 2013. Also if you're ordering a Bimmer Street Hoodie order it 2 sizes larger than normal because they aren't American measurements. I never drive my Beamer in the winter, that's what that Pontiac Vibe is for.🤣😆😊
That's a good suggestion, never thought of it because BMW's don't have spare tires lol. And thanks for the feedback on the hoodie, I felt they fit a bit smaller too. I will update the description on the website. If you need a different size or something, let me know!
What spare tire 😅
I Drive my 94 mustang GT 5spd in the harsh northern canadian winters. Always black ice with a few inches of snow on the road, we have around 4 feet of snow built up this year. My mustang with hakkapeliitta R5s out preforms my 1999 4wd ranger that had all seasons. Snow tires are a game changer
Super solid tips Jake. Another thing I like to do on my vehicles is use fluid film or woolwax. It's a greasy spray that you apply to the entire underside and suspension of the vehicle and really helps keep roads salt off of your nice stuff. Come spring time you can use degreaser and pressure wash it off, or leave the remaining product on as an extra layer next year.
Thanks Jerry! I've heard of WoolWax before, but never used it myself. I should definitely look into doing that next year...
@@jake_spence I have a whole fluid film setup at home. Next time you're over I'll show you what it's all about.
I've also heard great things about fluid film
Ayyye! Good stuff, winter is brutal. Thanks for the shoutout!
Thanks Gels... I've been enjoying your videos as well!
Hey Jake how about a video on how to replace the angle eye bulbs in your 335
I've done this, check out my previous videos!
The garage is looking super good too!
Thanks! I'm gonna do a full UA-cam video on it soon.
Only thing more I would recommend is bringing a shovel! Sometime you don't have the clearance, so shoveling away the snow helps!
Yup! This is still on my to-do list, to get a collapsible shovel.
@@jake_spence ah! I was watching your description and didn't see it 😅
General Tire is the American subsidiary company of the famous European company we know called Continental Tire. A good choice and they are cheaper and Nokian being another brand not well known in the USA although that one is European.
Come out ice racing with this!
I think I might have to... wish I had studs for the tires!
@@jake_spenceyou’ll have to give the Miata a rip on the studs if you come out! Rubber-only classes are still a ton of fun though :)
Winter tires all the way!! I also have an XI so I turn the 4x4 back on with "XDelete" for the ice and snow then back to rear wheel drive only when not.
Awesome that you're using XDelete, I'd definitely do the same if I had AWD!
Watching this right before wisconsin winter lol thanks bro
You can never have too many tools in your emergency kit when you drive a BMW lol.
No kidding! I've learned this the hard way, lol.
Good idea for the video. Seeing the 96 up in stands getting the Racelands was a trip, I was there for that. Those were fun days. Keep it up dude!
- Kyle from Oshkosh.
Haha, the good ole days. Thanks for watching man!
Just here supporting
I appreciate you 😎
Your videos are awesome, very underrated channel of your, please start posting Shorts!!
Que the frozen soundtrack lol
I should've 😂
Living in MN these are a must! Great video
Thanks Tom!
Thanks for tips! Nice video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great video again! Thankfully we are about halfway through the worst of this storm and it’s warming up slowly, I love playing in snow and makes me jealous to see you in that snow playing because it’s the perfect snow to do that! Our some is somewhere in Indiana now!🤣🤣
I think we have a ways to go yet lol. I enjoy the snow storms, I just hate the bitter cold days!
Glad the e90 is still around!
Awesome video, Jake! Taking some notes 📝
Thanks Dakota, glad you enjoyed!
Great tips! Definitely not missing the Midwest winters!!
I have a love/hate relationship with winter...
I subscribed a while ago and didn't even realize you were in Wisconsin! If you want to do content with an F01 N63 750i let me know Haha
Wisco represent! Small world my friend 🤘
Jake coilover sleeves are great! kept mine super clean, Miata is always the answer lol
I should really try out the sleeves next winter. And yes, I miss my Miata. It handled so great.
@@jake_spence I've always wanted a Miata lol 😁
To say raceland sucks now is silly tbh. I’ve had the primo ones in my e46 for over a year, going to the track and everything and they are holding up just as good as bc
damn jake nice vid 💪🏾
Thanks Gerald!
Shout out to the original battery in my 08 e93. Sounds weak AF when it sits for a couple days but she just keeps on chugging. LOL I'm sure it'll die now that put this out there.
Haha, why you gotta jinx yourself like that?!
@@jake_spence add it to my original turbos. things rattle like you wouldnt believe. 145k still chugging along.
Niceee! Good stuff man keep them coming 💪🏼
Thanks Jonathan!
buy rust converter, lower tire pressures, don't drive it, especially in salt.
PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS make a video of your garage makeover🥺🥺
I agree the general altimax tires are good, especially for the price. But if you dont mind spending a bit more the Michelin x ice and Bridgestone blizzaks are the best.
I've had Blizzaks and would choose the Altimax Arctics over them 10x
@Jake Spence did you have both sets on the same car? Maybe the car you have the blizzaks on just wasn't as good in the snow. I went from general altimax to blizzaks wso8 and they were noticeably better from my experience. I'm a mechanic I get the opportunity to drive a lot of different cars with different winter tires. I'm not trying to discredit your experience or opinion. Just curious.
Nokians
Love the content! Hows the M3 in the back corning doing? Any future plans with it?!
Hi, my car sits low but is not AWD. Do I have to elevate the car to install snow chains. I tried to do it without lifting it, but so far after many hours I could not do it. I think the fact that it is always an upward angle and cold as hell in the mountains does affect. Thank you.
My BMW is winter ready. But winters here in Holland are minus 6 Celcius, so no big deal. But I run winter tires anyway because the summer Michelins cannot hold up under the colder temperatures. My coolant is at minus 26 Celsius. What coolant do you guys run in these cold winter States? I saw your answer on IG but I still don't know. Have a fantastic Christmas, with Eileen and your loved ones. Dutch regards, Nico.
Thanks Nico! Hope all is well with you this holiday season as well. I use the standard BMW coolant, but there are others that work well too. As long as you use something good, it should not freeze.
Hey Jake! Glad that you're back to YT, can i ask which springs you have on your BC coils?
Buying my first coilovers ever for my E92 and i have been recommended 8 kg springs for the front and 12 or 14 kg for the rear.
Thanks! I have the standard springs, no change/upgrade. I would have to do a little more research to know what would be best, to be honest.
@@jake_spence I actually ended up spending a little more, but hopefully ending up with something that makes me happy, bought a set of ST XTAs (made by KW). My 335i is sitting in the garage until spring but it will be fun to have something to tinker with.
Bro where’s you get your wall wheel rack?
Here it is: amzn.to/3GAiiDJ
@@jake_spence thanks cuzzo! Btw beautiful setup, your support base in the Philippines 🇵🇭 dreams of having a set up like this
What do you guys think about Rain X or any water repellant stuff for the windows ?
Doesn't hurt! I've used it before and it'll definitely help repel water.
Hey, Quick question. You seem very knowledgeable on all things N54. I’m currently in the market for an E90 335i, and I was wondering, should I be looking at lower mileage ones like I would for any other car, or are the higher mileage ones the way to go. I can’t remember where, but I heard that higher mileage generally means that all of the maintenance was done on it, but I plan on getting it done before I do anything to the car. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I too am a Wisconsin boy! Got me excited when I stumbled across and older video and saw your “60 Roll” plate on the 135i!
Hey Jake are the bc br coil overs just the out of the box standard option, any upgrades on the coil overs? Thanks
If you use locking lugnuts LEAVE YO WHEEL LOCK KEY IN YO CAR!! Won't do you any good anywhere else
Yeah nah swfl.
i dont need this
Blizzak
I've had 'em and still prefer the General Altimax Arctic
