How to Handle a BMW 3 Series Rear-Wheel Drive Car in Snowy Weather?

[LeMadelyn]

For a BMW 3 Series rear-wheel drive car in snowy weather, you can turn off the active safety assistance system or start with light throttle. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Turn off the active safety assistance system: When a rear-wheel drive car is stuck in the snow and experiences wheel spin, it may seem that no matter how hard you press the accelerator, it won't help. In this case, the owner can turn off the vehicle's active safety assistance system. With the DSC function turned off and the car shifted into manual second gear, gently pressing the accelerator usually allows the car to drive out on its own. 2. Start with light throttle: When starting a BMW in the snow, the rear-wheel drive mechanism creates opposing forces between the front wheels' resistance and the rear wheels' driving force. If these forces are not properly aligned, it can cause the tail to swing. When there is snow or other obstructions in front of the front wheels, or when the front wheels are turned to one side, it can cause the rear to swing. Therefore, when starting on icy or snowy roads, it's advisable to straighten the steering wheel, shift into manual mode second gear, and start with a light press on the accelerator.
