    Black Mirror is another show I thought was great. It is a sort of modern day Twilight Zone. All episodes are completely different stories that don't tie in with eachother. 

    Broadchurch is also a good show out of the UK. I have never been one for detective type shows but I found both seasons to be very well done. I can't wait for the third season to come out.

      less weight? I find that e30s are better than e34s in the snow, and that's the reason I assume. less momentum and all that.

      'stable' is a broad term though.

      I find the opposite to be true, though I never put NEW snows on the e30. 
      The e34 has a longer wheelbase and man oh man would I hang the end of that car out. I will never forget hitting full lock and bouncing limiter in 3rd on a curved single lane road with curbs on both sides. That was a magical day. 

      The lifted e30 doesn't count in this opinion, because that is not a fair comparison.

        it seems the e30 stops much faster, and with other unpredictable drivers on the road, is probably the most important thing. a fair amount of brake pressure would almost never kick the ABS on. the e34, on the other hand, always wants to slide to a stop. maybe its the m60+touring+fat guy weight.

          Can confirm the long wheelbase theory. My parents used to have a 2001 GMC Yukon XL, that thing is like 20+ feet long and I could hang the tail out in the snow and hold it there as long as I wanted. I'd love to go slide around in a 740il at some point, id imagine it's similar

                                  For some reason I watched my truck run cold on the highway today. I'm thinking about getting one of those grill covers for it.

                                    Cardboard in front of the radiator, there was a baby peeping out my grill all winter last year from an old box of diapers.  Pretty classy.

                                        Oh, mine is gas, but tstat isn't good. And fan clutch is seized up, I have some parts, I should have fixed it when it was warm like I've planned on for the last 3 winters...

                                        Also one of our hens hatched some chicks, just heard peeping tonight, bad timing lol. Coldest time of the year.
