4 Great Winter Accessories for your BMW

Freeport winters are hard on cars, and getting your luxury vehicle through the winter unscathed takes planning. While you can’t completely eliminate the potential damage winter might do to your car, you can minimize the damage caused by things like salt and ice with the right accessories. Safely navigate winter’s hazardous conditions this year and come out on the other side with a car that looks like new.

Rubber Floor Mats

Protect your BMW’s interior by using rubber floor mats during winter. When the snow starts to get slushy and mixes with the Long Island grime on the roads, the interior of your car is in danger of getting stained and discolored. Rubber floor mats may not feel as luxurious as the BMW floor mats you’re used to, but they do come in colors to match your interior. When you remove them in spring, the interior of your car will look like winter never happened.

Car Cover

Even if you have a garage, it’s always a good idea to use a car cover during the winter months. You may find yourself spending the night somewhere with open parking, or fighting for space in the garage when the relatives show up. Snow and ice aren’t just inconvenient when it comes to starting your car and getting going in the morning, they’re also bad for your car’s paint job and interior parts. Cover your BMW when it’s parked outside during the winter. Get a car cover intended for winter weather, so it keeps everything under the hood from freezing. Your car will look better and drive safer as a result.

Mud Flaps

Road salt is the enemy of car bodies. It erodes paint and can cause rust if not washed off quickly. The best thing to do is avoid it entirely, but in Long Island that’s nearly impossible, unless you want to leave your BMW in the garage all winter. Protect your ride by installing mud flapson your front and rear tires to minimize the snow and salt spray that hits your paint job when you drive through winter muck. Remember to get your BMW washed frequently to keep the body clean of salt and free from damage.

Rear Storage Bag

A rear storage bag is the perfect solution to keeping all those winter implements off the floor of your trunk or back seat. Leave an ice scraper, a flashlight, and an extra set of gloves in your BMW without creating clutter. Rear storage bags for your BMW clip easily into your back seat via the middle seat belt. They don’t detract from valuable rear passenger leg room, and they’re designed to be stylish and attractive. They will keep all your car accessories, like tire gauges and first aid kids, handy and hidden.

When you have a luxury vehicle, you want it to look like a luxury vehicle. Keep your BMW safe from damage this winter by investing in accessories designed to protect both the exterior and the interior from snow, ice, and salt damage.
