    That's awful man, looks like it was a hell of a car, grey market?

    You'd think the off-ramps would be salted fairly well for ice, etc. Interesting.

      they don't salt here, they use something similar to cow piss. ;)

      snow tires would have helped, but what do I know? bummer about the car but sometimes stuff happens.

          Damn a schwarz brother lost, and a four door at that. I fear black ice every season and threads like these remind me why.

            Yeah that MAG Chloried sucks ass, Supposed to be easier on cars than salt. The shit will eat the chrome of a hitch ball.

            I grew up in the mid west with salt, and it works better and less corrosive than chloride.

                Not schwarz,

                Its actually Zobelbraun- Mettalic.

                It was sadly a color that never made it over to the US. It was a true Grey market car, imported from Germany.

                85' 318i slick-top.

                170k miles.

                There isnt enough Ice on the road for the road crews to be out yet. This spot just happens to have the right conditions for black ice to come about.

                        they usually do all the freeways and on/offramps here as soon as the temp hits freezing. there doesn't have to be any ice. Is it that much different in your county? you're barely 50 miles away.

                          My tires are far from bald.

                          they are extremely sticky rubber, and have looked like they are low on tread from the day I bought them. Not even a year old.

                          Im not sure when they start de-icing the off-ramps.

                              they're also not appropriate for freezing temps as you found out. sticky performance summer tires get hard when the temperature drops. Snow tires stay soft.

                              I've been where you are though. it sucks. but you'll move on (to another E30, hopefully).
