- Driving home in my BMW E92 M3 during the Blizzard proved more treacherous than expected. Enjoy the unplowed highway and brutal backroads with limited visibility.

Unpaved mountains roads in Maine but not nearly as bad as this
Hurricane cat 3 in Florida. Many winds, floods and downed trees. Boss still wanted hands on deck lol
Fiat abarth survived
I had some icy roads driving home a few months ago. Felt really sketchy
At least your home safe and warm
I live in Georgia, so the worst I've driven on is some slushiness a few days after a snow storm
anyone else think driving in blizzards is Incredibly therapeutic? it's just you, your car, and trying not to die
It certainly clears you head of anything else!
Yeah the night time makes it even more interesting
Yeah, until you're stuck in the middle of nowhere :)
less people to get around!
That's more like regular winter weather here in Finland :D
Great driving conditions in fresh snow, really fun actually. Also visibility seemed ok.
"What does that feel like, to get passed by an M3" They'll probably shake their head and expect to see you crashed into the barrier within the next mile.
haha probably exactly right
I assume these are also the same people who don't understand the benefit to an actual snow tire as they struggle to keep up.
the truth is that almost all BMW owners are risk-takers and ppl just hate taking a risk.. and that's why they hate BMW owners..
karen incarnate :'D
@@wes7bg bmw for life!
Me, 44 year old guy from Germany, watching a guy drive a BMW in the snow in and around Boston for 20 minutes.
Well, at least he’s outside.
Entertainment in 2021
At least you have a lot of time to think about Reich
Und es war klar, dass mindestens eine Person was über hitler schreiben muss.
Dumme amis schmeißen atombomben auf Menschen…
@@sammik3959 yea, we even can think about it in 3 languages.
Mind blowing for an american huh?
@Super Genius yea..
we‘ll all be learning arabic soon here…
Your country is at least independent.
We are not allowed to say something against refugees here, if you do so…be prepared to be called a nazi 🤮
Lol guys out of context
Being a Brazilian viewer is really weird, like, I've never seeing snow in my life and I have no idea of how it is, but surely listen to some calm music while driving in the snow must be amazingly therapeutic
as a person who lives in a Finland i have to disagree with you there
namoral mano, tipo imagina vc teve um dia cheio, corrido, chato. ai vc volta p casa nesse cenario ai. deve esvaziar a cabeça em um nivel...
@@jimii7357 lmao i can't imagine dealing with this daily, but for us who live on countries that never snows it is just our dreams to drive on conditions like that
@@brenofranca8140 it’s actually hard to stay on the road
As an Australian, this is just bananas! We’re usually dodging kangaroos and snakes on the road! This is a whole ‘nother level.
It’s the classic game of Canada, “whose lane is it anyways?”
From Michigan, I felt this
@@gavinthroop2839 right
Played that game today in Calgary.
It quickly turns into "I'm still on the road, right?"
living up north in Ontario.. I love this game! then again.. why dose no one know how to drive in this shit yet? we only have it for half the year every year..
"Making sure the turn signal is visible, eventhough this is a BMW" 🤣
Funny comment I give him that. He was signaling when he left the highway though.
@@kreivas3464 We have a bmw owner 🤣
As someone from Canada, late night snow drives are really nostalgic to me, so nice video
I find that talking to myself while driving in situations like this helps alleviate some of the nervous energy
He burnt 1/4 of his tank on his drive home.Damnnn that m3 is thirsty!
It's brutal.
Worth it
It’s because he wasn’t driving in the proper gear for proper fuel economy. His RPMs are above 2k the entire time on the highway in 4th gear...
@@HellzHonour which also means that he has the power readily available for when the back end steps out.
@@JStryker7 You are right, those bmw's have no low end torque. Ideally in those conditions you want to be in the highest gear possible to avoid wheel slip.
“Make sure the turn signals are visible, even though it’s a BMW” 😂
Wow funny
No
@@eldios3666 ahahhahah
How original
😁
The sudden drifts and the way its perfectly executed, its so soothing omg
I think he’s the only person on earth I’d be comfortable driving with in those kind of conditions! I also noticed he was using the hand-to-hand method, which I don’t see very often. Great job not dying! I was amazed with just how calm you even when your car was sliding. Wow!
Well, you wouldn't depending on the conditions. If you were to drift quickly hand to hand would be too slow for example.
I like to drive like that too. More snow, more fun. We get more snow like this in south of Poland but We use winter tires everytime in winter.
In deep'ish snow you got to use your hands :)
The car will sort of pickup tracks or whatever in the snow and you have to constantly adjust, and suddenly you have to adjust a lot, and then you better have your hands on deck.
Proves that snow tires can make any car usable in the snow! The public roads realistically don’t get much worse than this.
There wasnt anz reallz high gradient slope ... It can get much worse.
The problem starts when you get a steep hill.
Two years ago I had a Rental RWD 530d with winter tires and drove in the Swiss Alps, its was perfect 90% of the time, but in two situations it would go nowhere, turning off traction controll helped in one of the situations, but the other one I had to turn around and go back, and was justa a regular hill, but super slippery. An old lady passed by in a 3 Series XDrive just looking at me...
Yup my fwd civic with studded snow tires performed better in the snow than my awd Wrx’s have with all seasons. This year, I got studded snow tires for my sti, so I can’t wait to experience snow tires AND awd.
@@Rumblefan It's amazing. I live in western Canada and have an Audi S5 and run winter tires on it, makes your car an absolute beast in the winter combined with AWD. I had no issues at all this past winter. You'll have an absolute blast this winter.
@@Sn0ws519 I’m sure it’ll be great. Even with all seasons, I plowed my way through my unplowed street with 15” of snow with my old bugeye wrx that’s lowered 1.5”. Finally got stuck right before the stop sign at the end of the street, and when I got out, there was a banking pushed in front of my car extending all the way on top of the hood 😂
Your vids are soothing man
haha thanks Saaransh
I was about to say this is therapeutic. Makes me want to drive into a blizzard.
Agreed
Actually mad boring fr
Fr fr
Every winter I came back to these videos with m3 on snow! 🔥
2 years late to the party but just wanted to say I love the attitude of "what do you know that I don't know" rather than "what an idiot in the road". I'm always amazed how few people consider there may be a reason other vehicles are doing something odd. Nice smooth relaxed drive in beautiful conditions. I've not driven in proper snow in a few years now, I miss it :'(
A few weeks ago i got caught by the snow with my miata on semi slicks on a mountain pass, 0 traction what so ever...tow truck down the mountain lol
Car Pal! I love your videos!!
Not the same car but I have a Toyota Yaris which is also a small car😂 we got hit pretty hard in ny on Wednesday and I divided not to even try😂
YOOOOOO ITS CAR PAL! what's up man aha
C A R P A L
Everytime I was able to drive in similar conditions, I was so on edge and aware of everything, when I pulled up home I was truely exhausted. But damn those are the best memories I have with my cars.
XD the state of supernatural ;D
Honestly talking to the camera as you drive is really fun to watch and entertaining, loved the drive, and thank you.
I just randomly found this channel and I think it’s a great one for nervous drivers learning how to drive. People just need to learn how to relax and take it easy when driving
That Bill Nye voice was incredibly accurate😂. I’m impressed
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill Nye the Science Guy!....I love Bill Nye lol
@@TedwardDrives inertia is a property of matter... especially German sports cars
Tedward: *makes it up a good sized hill and is almost constantly making the most out of the snow and drifting on the way home only to get stuck in his driveway* lol
I remember watching this in back in high school and it inspired me to get a RWD car as my daily driver. Almost 3 years later now i just bought a new GR86 and i can’t wait to see how it handles in the snow.
Amazing skill.
I’ve watched this video minimum 10 times idk why but night drive in the snow with the old m3 it makes me so happy
ah yes the traditional northeast game of "where is the lane?"
Midwest too lol
Yup, we play it every year...😁
It seems like every northeast town has that one nasty hill that you have to go up to get home. If you can’t make it up you sleep at the bottom that night
I love seeing other people drive in icy/snowy conditions to see how they fare, I live in Alaska so its just a completely normal day, given most people have studded tires here, but I love driving in icy conditions, its a blast, and I think given the circumstance you did great. Super chill video, liked it a lot.
What I like about snowy and icy conditions is you can go to a empty parking lot and drift almost anything
Yeah sliding 100hp shitboxes all winter IS pretty fun
I have drifted a Prius hard in the snow lol
Especially in a beater you're not worried about.
i wished i lived in a snowy country...where i live its around 25 degrees celsius on average
@@chickenfishhybrid44parking lot ? how can you drift there
"there's gonna be a bridge" proceeds to say "okay lets jump off here" lmao
So interesting to watch being a British viewer!. This kind of snow would absolutely cripple us... even in 2 inches or less most drivers are so inexperienced and seem to think Snow is the same as the rain 😆. Would love to have a go driving in this kind of weather, stressful but relaxing and going for a ride without losing control is just such an adrenaline rush
watching back a few month later. Our roads in the UK are a joke in these conditions. People think they can go driving on tyres that were borderline at the last MOT 6 months earlier. All season tyres should be standard fit in the UK.
Come to canada my friend it’s exactly this 6 months of the year if you do I’ve got some tips 1 winter tires are a must 2 buy a car that allows manual selection of gears doesn’t have to be a stick shift paddle shifters are fine 3 make sure you got 4wd because there is many many steep hills that 2wd is just unable to do no matter the tires 4 have fun drifting because it’s literally a tap of the gas away at all times 5 enjoy the beautiful scenery
The Netherlands would be crippled as well. Even 2 or 3 inches of snow will absolutely destroy the country.. I mean the trains already have problems with leaves on the track lol.
@@markgambrill all seasons are almost useless compared to real winter tyres
@@joonapuro8055 agreed but in the majority of UK winter hovers around freezing in the commuting hours so all seasons are spot on and 80-90% of what winters will offer for Joe public.
One of my favorite videos on RUclips. Commentary perfect. Video quality perfect. Idk I wish I could find more videos like these.
This is my favorite video that you made! Driving in the snow in your favorite car is just super relaxing.
This videos are so much fun! Its so relaxing seeing some nice calm drifts in the snow with an M3. I need more of this kind of videos! Greetings from Germany! ✌🏻
Dream conditions. Absolutely love driving in the snow.
I was a rescue tow truck driver in Denver for a while. The appeal wore off really fast, lol.
Daily driving 6 months of the year in the stuff gets oretty boring eventually
I come back to this video every once in a while.. Love the atmosphere of this snowy drive! Would love to have such a blizzard happen in my little country (The Netherlands) but it hardly ever snows over here
I'm not sure, as a one off thing every year or so would be nice, but in places where it's common, I rather not lol.
Haha me too, don't know why. Love the snow, calm night.
I just re watched the video 2 yrs later and it was very calming.
The sliding can be fun with a RWD or AWD car, but the rest of it is anything but fun. When you live through a long winter that's mostly weather like this, you will wish you didn't even need a car. There's a huge list of problems that goes with the weather. Some cars you can never get to start reliably in freezing conditions. It's not a fun experience when you are forced to deal with it.
My first ski trip with a rental car was full blizzard conditions on the way back, and it was more memorable than the skiing itself.
I enjoyed the whole 19:08 minutes my friend! Thanks for commenting the whole drive home. Glad to see you get home safe!
Glad you enjoyed it
The wind noise was hella pleasant. Pair with the dark and the snow, this was possibly the nicest video you've done. Obviously other things can be more fun, but this was relaxing.
This is the best RWD winter tires demonstration I’ve ever seen. Thanks for making this 💪
Canadian here, I love going out in snowy conditions with little traffic. It's fun to slide around and have the roads mainly to yourself.
"Make sure to clean your turn signals even tho it's a BMW" ok, I actually laughed lol
Part of me misses driving my little 335 in snow in Sweden, but then I remember that it's only fun for 10 minutes and then it only ends up being a hassle, no matter how good the tires are. I used to drive 11 hour shifts in a taxi and the mental drain, which leads to a physical drain, after 11 hours in conditions like these is brutal.
This is so calming and cozy to watch, i enjoyed it alot!
Love the enthusiasm and love that you let your car warm all the way up or semi
i love how elegantly you drove your M3 home! it was awesome to see you countersteer with one hand towards the end
My dream car in my dream weather conditions (especially for skiing on the next day!)
Tires make all the difference! I used to love, LOVE, going out in my s2k. A set of blizzaks with that 50/50 weight made it unbelievably capable while passing stuck SUVs 🙂
I'm with you right there in my mx-5 :) its fun as heck but damn the hills are a challenge
Looking back, I think this will always be the best Tedward video
I love that you weren't afraid to get out and drive your m3 in this.. very cool
This was the most New England thing I've seen in a while! Sweet driving 🤟
Idk man but when you sit inside a warm car while its freezing outside and dark and snowy is just a different kind of vibe man.
I love driving in the snow it just brings some excitement to it!
I love your M3 in the snow videos keep it up man, much love from Finland.
I’ve been waiting for this video! I knew it was coming 😁
Welcome to 6 months of the year in Saskatchewan. Good on you having proper tires though. I love watching videos of the chaos that ensues in southern states when they get 2 inches of snow.
Yeah i drove my saxxo 200km pretty much same conditions, it was amazing no servo no abs but just pure fun hahaha you sir are perfect example how to enjoy your ride fullest but safely no risk to other. Love it.
I absolutely love the videos of you driving a rear wheel drive on the snow, its so entertaining to watch how you control the car.
It's actually super easy to control the car like that in the snow. It's a really easy way to teach people how to drift and spin the ass end around. Just take them to an empty, snow covered parking lot and 20 mins or so later, they're doing it like champs. Then in the summer, just apply the same principles.
@@hlf_coder6272 Yeah, rwd is easy. Especially on snow, no real chance of spinning out compared to on ice.
This is the most fun adventure I've been on in a while, what a joy to watch this :D
It's honestly amazing to see how well your car and those tires are handling this, I live in an area of the south that doesn't normally get snow but this year we did. I lost traction at the front and ended spinning out, and I wasn't even going 30mph yet. It really doesn't help that my car doesn't have traction control, but I'm really considering getting a set of snow tires for the winter, even if it doesn't snow this year.
Yes! snow tires are great for any kind of cold weather!
For your situation maybe try non studded snow tires
His driving ability should be taken into account more than his tires. You should not drive like him in the snow if you don't have experience counter steering even if you got good winter tires. There were times he was counter steering for a long time at once because he had no traction in the rear and was just fishtailing. Someone who has not got a lot of experience counter steering would likely spin out driving like that in a storm.
Trying to go 30 mph or over was your 1st mistake
@@LaskInHD eat my jorts and choke on them. This was my first time driving in snow because the last time it literally snowed like this was when I was in middle school 16 years ago.
it's so relaxing to watch and listen, thanks for sharing :)
Ah POV night drive and snow. The PERFECT combination. 👌
Very enjoyable.
I LOVE these types of night drive videos 🔥
Winter tires are simply the only tires that really work in snow conditions.
I had recently mounted a set of premium winter Continentals on my MTB and made it through stuff where even the cars had difficulties.
The most guys here just pushed their bikes around. They are not used to winter around here haha. Love winter driving, be it MTB or car. Provided it has the right tires fixed!
This was very fun to watch!
this is my vibe right here nightime snow driving
'Almost giving up like three times' is called 'not giving up'. Congrats! You did it!
That’s the mass bike in Framingham I paved that whole highway this past summer ! Pretty cool seeing you drive by all that
One of THE most relaxing videos I've ever watched. And boy did I watch the whole thing, too! :D
This is really immersive. Great video.
Wow, such a fascinating video! You're a great driver and commentator mate, loved every minute. Those conditions are so mesmerising to me - I'm from Australia and it's 80F, storming right now :D
As one daily m3 e9x'er to another, that was epic. We had a bit of snow down here in NC but knowing the roads here I didnt chance it cause it wouldve been almost all ice. Keep up the great content!
I love blizzards, not for driving, but how awesome and beautiful it looks. My brother in law also has a jeep cherokee which we took drifting during this storm. Awd is so much fun in the snow. Also have your high beams on while its snowing and its like entering hyperspace. God, im a grown ass man and i still think snow is so much fun
Watching this feels so cozy, I def wanna do this someday.
Love these videos my man :). That ending was dramatic haha!
Brilliant video as always man. Much love from Cyprus!
Much appreciated!
always come back and watch this video because it’s low key calming
This brings back such good memories of my 328i RWD in Toronto winters
This is a great substitute for not having winter tyres on my sports car anymore. I can enjoy the fun and struggle by watching your video 🤣
Dude, your car control is amazing!
I love seeing you slide cars around because you make it one smooth motion! When I try to slide cars around in my racing sims (not ballsy enough to do it IRL) it's always a panicky frenzy of "Oh crap, countersteer quick!"
Thank you!
I would say sliding around is easier irl than racing sims because it's actually really easy when you get use to it.
Wow, that's awesome. This video reminds me of the last days of mine in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, where I had a brand new BMW G20 xdrive and was usually cruising during blizzards like this one. The best memory in my life. I was feeling like "well, at least I have control over my driving wheels and I feel better than everyone FWDed in the traffic. That's a reason to live". Now I live in a place where snow is a foreign word, and I really miss it
GREAT video....confidence, calm = fun survival
I feel like the weather looks better on camera than it truly is.
Watching you clean the snow off your M3 in the beginning was therapeutic😂 Great content man!
That was horrifyingly painful for me. He did at least call me out on it as he did it lol.
winter, snow, nightdrive, hot air blowing inside the car
, engine sound, hot chocolate, smoke, less people on road = therapy
Years ago I had a C5 Corvette with really good all season tires, I drove it all winter long and never had a problem as long as I respected what is, and is not, possible with a car like that in those conditions. Usually the limiting factor was the ground clearance, not the car's ability to stay on the road.
this was oddly such a relaxing video
Beautiful winter! 🤘🏁🚘
I'm in Michigan and it's always a blast to drive in the winter. Tons of fun. Looks very familiar. NO BRAKES in the snow baby.
this video is so calming
i live in Northeast NJ, and we got over a foot of snow. Nice vid bro !
What an amazing video! Truly. Props to you for recording this with your POV setup, I'm sure it wasn't easy while at your limits of grip and visibility.
I went out for a bit in the same storm, felt as though if I made any stupid decisions my G35 was gonna get stuck. It was way more slippery than it looked. Got some good counter steering practice though 😅
I think the camera helped me talk through the drive. When I got to the highway I was tempted to turn back. Conditions were worse than I had expected.
@@TedwardDrives you're a brave man, we appreciate the content!
This is super relaxing to watch.
This is like the calmest video I’ve ever seen
If i am sick i am watching this and feeling instantly better……
IM SO JEALOUS! We got 3cm for one evening where I live and the next day it was gone. I would love to have this as a commute everyday lol.
I have more cm
Bruh same, we got like 4 cm of road snow that barely sticked and next day sun came up melted everything.. We will never have a normal winter anymore, last proper winter was in 2014 we had almost 30cm road snow.
Damn you’re lucky you even get snow, where I live we got 6in (15cm) of rain.
@@michaelhendrickson2574 I don't think 6 freedom units equates to 15m
Careful what you wish for mate...
It's very fun until you actually need to stop or turn in a hurry.
Having a real mechanical limited slip differential (not those fake ones pulsing the brakes), which the E92 M3 has, helps tremendously in snow. It may not help you at not losing grip, but when you do you can make much better use of what grip is left, i.e. you can keep on going better. And real (and sufficiently new!) winter tires of course.
This made me miss winter! Hopefully we will get a snowy winter, instead of a slushy one. Greetings from Finland!
I absolutely love these videos.
Oh this is deeeeeeep. I can feel it. I can feel it 😂
Hahaha I LOL'ed and the "beaver st. giggity" comment! Great video, being a California native I don't see much of this type of road condition. Great job!
I love your commentary!
