Is BMW Difficult to Drive in Snowy Weather?
1 Answers
BMW is difficult to drive in snowy weather due to the characteristics of rear-wheel drive vehicles. Reasons why rear-wheel drive cars are difficult to drive: Since the power of a rear-wheel drive car comes from the rear wheels, although it performs excellently in terms of acceleration and weight distribution on dry roads, it is prone to dangerous skidding on slippery snowy roads. Especially when turning, the drive wheels of a rear-wheel drive car are behind the vehicle's center of gravity, lacking sufficient lateral force to ensure stable movement, so the rear of the vehicle can easily lose control on snowy surfaces. How to drive a rear-wheel drive car in snowy weather: Most rear-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with traction control systems. Drivers can activate the traction control, switch the automatic transmission to manual mode, and start in second gear. This reduces the driving force, usually allowing for a smooth start.
