I used to do some ice climbing. Cold weather and me are two peas in a pod. I figure I can always get warm. Getting cool, on a sweltering day, sucks.

And, I drive all winter with the windows open. Maybe I have a thyroid problem... (or whatever that is that makes you warm in cold weather)

Generally, as mentioned earlier, layers work great. I also picked up last winter a surplus N3B parka (actually, a few of them, for the family!) on eBay. I paid as cheap as $10! These puppies are warm. They are what's issued to the Air Force people in remote hinterlands.

I called Prestige MINI today and asked about cold weather prep. Augie said he would be happy top look into it. Apparently there is some program MINI has in Norway that the use for their cold weather stuff. I would imagine reprogramming would be a good thing too...

I also emailed BMWNA, but we'll see what becomes of that. I am less hopeful for a reply from them. I'm jaded
