I live in Michigan and just put the Vredestein Winter trac pro on the stock 21” wheels of my new X5 m50i, and they are absolutely transformative. They replaced my stock runflat summer Perelli‘s. I too am very brand loyal and was very hesitant, but at the time they were the only winter tires in my stock wheel sizes, so I pulled the trigger, and couldn’t be happier. Fantastic ride quality, performance, low noise, and tremendous grip. I would recommend them to anyone.

[@jcooper_]

Hahaha, so true about the chimes. Same noise for "oops, you didn't quite shut your door fully!" and "I am literally gonna grenade myself in 5 minutes"

[@mullner88]

I prime mine like you do every single time

[@ARentz07]

To be fair to those saying it primes when you unlock the car, that does exist on some other cars. My GLI, for instance, primes it when I open the driver's side door. Very audible "wree" whirring/buzzing sound. Technology is wonderful.

[@TedwardDrives]

Oh i know! My moms X3 primes on unlock. Its great. But I once said in a video that I like to prime before starting and people LOST THEIR MINDS and said it primes on unlock. It doesn't. I cannot believe I had to make this segment to shut them up. Comments would say "I'm a BMW tech and these definitely prime on unlock." Another good reason never to bring your car to BMW dealer for service lol

Same. The fact that you can send oil back for replacement is absolutely wild.

@@TedwardDrives yup. Love it. I didn't know that before. My friend told me. Now I try to buy most of parts from them from them. I have 2005 911 c2. I change oil every 3000 miles even before I had FCP EURO life time warranty. Did water pump, low temp thermostat even they weren't leaking. Just regular maintenance plus coil packs and plugs. Car have 52k miles. All services done by me except IMS retrofit and cluth.

Had to do the same thing for my B5 S4 - it also reads the oil temp for the S4; quite important on the twin turbo or like the m3 with rod bearing clearance issues

[@VentureAHighway]

Any advice on how to avoid/delay rust? PS that intro was great, excited for more winter content

[@TedwardDrives]

for surface rust, adding a hydrophobic layer or wax or if you spend big money, ceramic coat helps. Wash the the car regularly and don't forget to wash the undercarriage. Some folks swear by krown coatings which is like oiling every surface under the car. I've never used it but I've heard mixed responses. You can't prevent it 100% but you can slow it down

[@VentureAHighway]

@@TedwardDrives appreciated!

[@ThePedalDance]

@@TedwardDrives some people...meaning Chris :) I trust him!

[@Backroad-Bomber]

100% would get the car undercoated. Very disappointing to see cars that were driven in winter and not oil sprayed. Most OEM’s do really bad factory uncoating and everything underneath gets rusty and rots. Also have to make sure the body is sealed, fill in all paint chips and then wax the car. You’re car will be essentially sealed from water and salt, do this and you’re cars body will last a lot longer.

[@MrSh31by]

Here in Germany most of the people use Wax, in our Garage we used LiquiMoly which worked great, we used like 4 Cans (1l per Can with Spraygun) to get into all small Cracks, Doors,.. So if your car is pretty new its a good thing, but dont use it without really cleaning your car, because you will get that Salt Stuck between Wax and Body and it will hurt more than it helps. I was some people use old Engine Oil on like Unimogs but what i saw is that it ruins more than it helps. I even saw some guys use like a Bodycoat, similar to like a rubercoat. Its drying over time and it will be a really good protection, but if something will get between coat and body again, it will rust underneath.

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but wanted to ask about Carly. Why no Bimmercode? Doesn't Bimmercode accomplish the same thing and even more? I'm trying to decide which to get and was about to pull the trigger on Bimmercode. Just curious what you (and viewers) think about this.

Don't get Dunlop WinterMaxx. Have them on my 2011 Mustang, scariest tire I've ever driven on. Its like driving on bald tires. They work great in the snow, but awful in the wet. I will go up hill sideways somedays in the rain. It was the only winter tire left in stock in my size so I'm stuck with it. I've actually learned they try not to sell them in areas of high rain because of just how bad they are in the wet.

[@TedwardDrives]

I had a set of dunlop winter sport 3d somethings and I hate them. I got stuck a couple times in situations that really should have been easy

Put them on my GFs Jetta and have driven in the dry and wet so far. Super spongy, but no issues with traction yet, but we aren't exactly going racecar mode with her car. Will try them in the snow tomorrow, as we are supposed to get a foot. Seems like a solid budget winter tire so far, but I'll be putting the wintracs on my 340i next year.
