I imported my car from texas so this will be the first winter its ever seen.
So i was just wondering if there is anything i should do to make sure it will be good for winter? eg. battery, block heater etc.

Thanks in advance!

Tires! Perhaps the most important thing you must do.

DSC = On!

Yeah I doubt a texas car will have the cold weather package.

I love my warm bum in the winter

Yea i'll have tires without a doubt, not running staggered ZR tires in teh winter lol.

What about coolant? Is it necessary to do a flush or soemthing before freezing temps hit?

Nice car Justin :thumbsup: My friend Arian's planning to do exactly the same thing you did and pick up an M3 from the USA.

Suggestions:
-Winter tires
-Block heater
-Lighter oil
-DSC on (my friend with a 318 did not even have winter tires and he managed ok with DSC on. He said he got better traction than his Pathfinder lol not sure I believe him about that tho)
