Do you think the Motul will help?
Can't really help you there... the coldest it gets here is like 63F and that's during the night...

But switching to motul definitely makes the transmission smoother.

In this winter we're having my snow tires are quickly becoming my favourite mod - car is a beast with them on!

Only been stuck once, and that was because the snow was so deep it was up to my door...no tire will help you there

Combo of 3 things which change the driver experience dramatically.
1. VooDoo gear knob
2. TRD Sports wheel
3. Racing/Bucket seat.

Spotify sounds way better and I get to pick what plays if I want.... and its free.

Yeah I find it super repetitive...but the sports + comedy channels go unmatched

Realistically I find it gives variation that's about it...Haven't decided whether I'm putting it in my car or not yet

It's certainly no magic cure when cold - idk what it's like when warm out but at - 5C to - 15C it's better than stock but doesn't eliminate crunchy shifts entirely, and I still need to double clutch into 2nd for the first 5 mins of driving. When car fully warm definitely better than stock or the BMW super thin oil often mentioned.
