Should I DD my e92 M3 in the winter?

[BeirBrennerE30]

Title basically says it all. Have a new e92 M3. Should I DD it all winter and put snow tires on it? or store it and buy some POS winter beater. Below I have some pros and cons or driving it into the winter. Please add and let me know what you think.

Pro Driving it:
Save money on getting another car.
I am not collecting this car so long term (5+ year) survivability isnt a concern
No worries about breaking down, BMW Assitance FTW
snow donuts!

Cons of driving it:
It probably sucks ass in the snow... but so does the 135i and I managed that
When I do sell it, it would be in better shape if it missed the winters.
I will be a freak about trying to keep it clean
A crappy used car could leave me stuck somewhere and I HATE doing maintenance when its cold in the garage

Hell yea. Tear into it every day. It wont ever affect trade in value, and if you can drive it should be alot of fun in the snow depending on the tires.

When the snow is really bad, the salt trucks start spraying that stuff everywhere, maybe justjump in something else to save the paint.

[M-technik-3]

Sure why not, it has rust proofing and so on. But wouldn't be cheaper to just get a ratty e36 and drive that?

Better yet why don't you continue to DD the 135i ?

[pbr87]

If you don't plan on keeping it, and you believe it won't hurt the resale value at all...DRIVE IT!

[2002maniac]

So did you sell the 135i for this? Good move! I say thrash it all winter.

[z31maniac]

Troll!

I hate to see a new car get mucked up. Beater Audi Quattros go real cheap around these parts.

[Leaf]

No. That's fucking retarded. Why would you do that? if you have enough money for a e92 n a 1 series you should have enough money for a diff whip.

[kishg]

get a truck

[T Verdier]

it doesn't sound like money is a big issue for you. so why don't you pick a an IX e30. "Wich of my 4 lauxury sports cars should i drive this winter?" LOL i like your style!

[ben312]

i would have to say get a cheap ass car that run decently.

someone out there wants to do a V8 swap into an e30 - be the donor . . .

Forget that... swap the M3 motor into the e30.

Though bolting the e30 body panels onto the e92 m3 would probably be easier.

[Alkasquawlik]

give it to me.

e92 = v8
