you'll need good new winter tires more then AWD. AWD is good while in motion but outside of that RWD is plenty safe. I know a lot of e46 guys that will drive to big bear during snow season on dedicated winter tires no problems. Just another input incase that is your only reason for AWD.

Really? That's a horrendous road up there too..like 15 miles of windy cliffs lol. Now I just wish I could go snowboarding again haha. I've been trying to talk her out of awd because off all the extra moving parts and bs, but she's pretty dead set on it.

This is true, I grew up in snow, and driving RWD, while AWD is nice, its not gonna matter when going sideways at a cliff...you would be fine with a RWD, plus with the money you would save you could buy a winter beater

Same here, had a 4wd suv that I never put in 4.. she learned on fwd though and still has her first car so its gonna be a big change for her. Very valid points though, I already have a truck and a honda as it is so we'd be a 4 car family haha

I think the main reason looking for an AWD e30 is going to be part sourcing...Let's be real even if she finds a solid 4-5k AWD e30 that needs nothing when it does break it'll be down and if that's her only vehicle that will be problematic while trying to source parts. At least if it's a RWD you can source parts much faster and be back on the road sooner.

Thats what I keep telling her, at that age it nearly impossible to find anything under 100k, or even under 150k that isnt beat to hell. So like you said, its not a matter of if it breaks down, but when
