Damn dude, sorry about the mishap. At least you didn't get hurt (you didn't right?). Depending on what you put into the car; getting a fender, hood, oil pan, rack might not be a good idea.
Why do people drive e30s (non-ix) in inclement weather?
It snowed like a week before the accident.. there was only a small section of ice on the street that i didn't see.. my car star spinnin spinning and hit a post. The end.

Why do people drive e30s (non-ix) in inclement weather?
Why not? It's just a car. People were driving around in rear wheel drive cars for like 70 years or so until front and AWD became popular. I'll drive my car anywhere. I could see if it were beautiful and I didn't want it to get salted/sanded/scratched etc. But it's not, so screw it.

Do you really think that the e30 sucks in inclement weather? With snow tires and LSD, its just as good as a LOT of modern cars. Only thing that could make it better MIGHT be traction control, but I hate traction control. I've driven 2 winters in e30's. Last year was an '87 eta and this year is a '91 325i. Both have LSD and both were/are on snow tires for the winter. I've NEVER gotten stuck.

because we eat meat and haven't turned into giant vaginas.
competent driver + snow tires + LSD = FTW
that first part of the equation is probably the toughest to find on the board
lol I "drift" around every corner I can in the snow. If you know generally how snow affects the car, youll be fine. Just practice in parking lots. :)

ice is ice!! when on ice, the inevitable can happen, and sometimes does.
why drive E30s in bad weather??? because they are cheap, disposable cars!
sorry to see what happened. that damage doesnt seem so bad to warrant a new car though--fix it, and drive it throught the rest of the winter.
