Hi, it's a 20 year old e60 530d that accidentally landed in my ownership a couple of years ago 🤣approaching 550k km. I just use winter tires and it's enough. Snow chains are for more extreme weathers and over the years I've never needed them. In Austria, only truck drivers (anything over 3.5 tonnes) are required to have them in winter. I do end up turning traction control off on half of the trips in winter when driving higher up into mountains.
@@weredrivinghere Nice 🤣👌I drive a 535d e61. I’ll be driving to Hochsölden in February and was wondering if chains will be necessary. Thanks a lot for your help, and Merry Christmas!!! :D
The road is somewhat intimidating and I imagine things could be much more sketchy during or immediately after a snowfall. That’s when you might realistically need chains if you don’t feel very confident. Apps like bergfex can be used to check the weather/snowfall at an altitude. Even on this drive up, I had tires slipping a bit at one point (intentionally, I wanted to test t/c). My “winter” tires are m/s with the snowflake/mountain icon, so if you have dedicated proper winter tires - it will be safer. And of course thousands of hours of drifting in Assetto Corsa help with confidence when driving rwd on snowy mountain roads 😂 Happy holidays to you too!
3:05 First time I have seen a gondola with a CocaCola sign. 😂 And also first time going under a ski run. Great road!
Perjalanan di musim salju yg menyenangkan
Hi, what car are you driving and are you running tire snow chains "schneeketten" ? 🙂
