I have practically new 18" Pirelli Sottozero non-runflats and I'm still having problems. I am missing my x-drive on my e90 now, or better yet, should have waited for x-drive for the f30 =(

Any suggestions on what i should be doing to increase traction/grip in the winter? Any RWD pointers in winter?

I have heard that if i load my trunk with over 100+ lbs of junk, it would increase traction.

Thnks!
did you enable DTC?
DSC cuts engine power at the first sign of wheel slip, so on a hill, you can get stuck as dsc will keep cutting power, leaving no power to actually propel the car forward.
