I knew right away when I saw it billowing gray smoke. My car wouldn't start in that weather and it came from way up north, go figure. It also has a 600w block heater but I was afraid it would get the coolant to hot and warp the head, its a bmw and some parts are kinda pricey. Well actually parts cost about the same as my truck but still I don't feel like working on it.

Huh weird. My car started up at -10 the one time it got that low here. It didnt like it at all, but it did it.
