WTB: 14" winter tires or 15" wheels, light 15" wheels, and suspension upgrades
Gotta say -- have new respect for my new-to-me e30 after installing the new Blizzak WS60s a couple of nights ago. I parked the more than capable all wheel drive/winter tire wearing Land Rover, and have been tooling around Boulder in my RWD 325is the past few days. Have gotten a few looks from folks in Subes and SUVs on all seasons that aren't having nearly as much fun.
On it's stock "minus" suspension (mismatched no-name dampers and worn bushings no doubt) and old bald summer tires, it handles like a boat on dry roads -- but really came alive with the new winter tires on the snow and ice. Nicely balanced I could oversteer slick corners and easily recover even with the leaky steering rack. Will definitely be signing up for BMWCCA's ice gymkhana or one of the Audi Club Georgetown Lake events if my Jan/Feb schedule allows. Just hope there is some snow and slush, as I don't the the studless WS60s on glare sheet ice would be as much fun compared to Quattro studless.
so you have discovered the fun of an E30 with decent snow tires!! My 318is on studded snows is more than capable in the snow, in fact apparently more capable than most drivers on the road, ha ha!
