Portland Area G8x spotting - doesn't happen often

I was pretty thrilled today to see another G8x (a grey one) in my remote bit of the metro. Whoever you were, you were only my third G8x encounter (other than mine, and the blue one that was at the dealership when I got mine) in the wild in 9 months and 17 days of M3 ownership.

Hope that big puddle at the intersection on your side of the road wasn't that deep. I went another way home to avoid it.

Same here. Have only seen a white G80 besides my blue one.

Congrats on your car. Such a great blue. Recent acquisition?

Yep, I’ve had it for a little over two weeks. It’s a 2022 xDrive. Absolutely love it. Not loving the snow though, although I did put Sottozero 2´s on it.

I did PS4 AS's on my RWD car. I took her out in the snow a bit, and it's controllable and functional, though it's a lot easier to mess up than the RWD cars I learned to drive in the snow in (grew up in SW Michigan)...cause they were 70's boats with almost no power. :-)

Yeah I grew up in Canada with underpowered RWD boats as well. Problem is we live in SW Hills and it’s mayhem here when it gets slippery. Have seen over 10 accidents this week. Lots of cars crashed at bottom of hills.

OSP recorded 915 accidents between the 23rd and the 28th. I think that's state-wide. Messy week.

Garage List
Mine was delivered on Friday the 24th -- barely made it home through snow and slush for the last few miles -- but I live east of Salem in the foothills. 81 miles on the odometer now and it's not leaving the garage until this white stuff goes away. I've got a set of Conti DWS's waiting for when I can drive to the tire store.
