    Prepping the E30 for winter

    Alright so I've been touching up the undercoating, and got me some snow tires.

    I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for some good floor mats and mudflaps I want the OEM bmw mudflaps but they're kinda pricey anyone had success on putting some cheapo universal ones on?

    Some guys run rally armor mud flaps.

        Husky liners and weathertech will do well for mats. Or just go cheap and hit up Walmart for universal fit/cut and trim mats.

                i have driven an e30 as a winter car for 8 years now. they do really well because they are very predictable/controllable. heres how i survived:



                and one last item to add to the list:

                10)Don't be a dumbass and drive when conditions are too bad for your car.

                  I don't see the mudflaps that are on your checklist

                  :P

                  (I want mudflaps...)

                  Also, I have yet to find conditions that were too bad for me to drive the E30 in.
                  I'll find them someday! I hit up every storm I can.
