    Default Winter prep

    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 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)
