    AMEN!

    Im loving the snow right now. Even with H&R Race, bil sports, and ST sways the car gets around just fine... with snow tires :)

    EDIT: No added weight

      Yup, LSD, snows, 240 pounds of sandbags in the trunk; aside from one incident where the afm decided to do its own thing there haven't been any issues with the cold. Heat works nicely as well.

      EDIT: I had an extra word in there.

        well not to hijack just figured i would throw my car up in here considering you can no longer even tell what it is. used to be in the garage until i finished the engine work. so it has been sitting outside under the car cover since; will come out some time this spring.






        oh and before it was stored

          Massachusetts Winters Suck!

          Here's mine all frosty from last week.....snowplowed to work again.

          BTW: No snows, about 60lb concrete in trunk. Doesn't do too bad.

                I would be nervous driving an e30 in the snow, too light for my liking.

                I will keep my e28 for the winter thank you very much.

                  honestly I think it's the lack of weight and good balance that makes the 318is excell in the snow - less mass to accelerate, turn and most importantly, stop. with cheap snow tires I was doing circles around many other cars.
