Nice ride. I have a 97 328i vert. I am new to Colorado, (moved from TN), so I havent drove mine in the snow yet. I expected with wheel rear drive they would be pretty bad, but it sounds like you dont have much problem.

All I have for mine are KDWs and they dont do too well in the white stuff. That is what the Pathy is for.


Didn't you have a thread a while back about blowing your engine? Glad to see you got it running again.

I just got back from my little adventure in the snow. Around 7:00 there was about 15 feet of visibility. Glad I got my Blizzaks.

pffft, why was it stupid?
People seem amazed when I tell them that I drive the M3 in the winter (RWD!? they ask). I got around in the winter in my '69 Mustang with bald tires sooooo, why not the M with snows!? :alright

Yes i have my car back!!!!!!! but with a new engine with about 80 K miles on it!!
LOL E36Chubbs keep those summer tires off. I wish i could compare the Blizziks to my Dunlop to see what is better in the snow but the Dunlop are awsome i was amazed

Lol Jason. Weather.com said it was gonna be 40 degrees for 10 days and I friggen hate my steelies. OMG the continentals I got in the rear are almost down to the wear bars. It was scary driving home from school today at around 9AM. The sidestreets were like slush snow and I wasn't straight for more than 5 feet haha

Steel wheels. The solid black (usually) cheap wheels.
