    I had no idea it was going to snow last night/today...ugh. 

    The e46 was Rage Drifting all over the East Side at a blazing 20 mph this morning.  If I blink I can still see the traction control light flashing.

    What are winter tires?????

      Well the drive to work approx. 1Mile was quite interesting driving at a 45 to 90 degree angle the whole way. By the time I was there I had white tread and was rolling around marshmellows. 6Pm i bought a full set of new winter tires problem solved. Crisis averted

          Snow tires are key. If I didnt have my coupe (stupid frameless window drop to open door thing gets frozen stuck) and already have my other AWD car, I'd rock my E46 all year long. Just give it a bath at the car wash every now and then to keep the salt at bay.

              That's my biggest gripe with the E46, is the stupid windows getting frozen shut. Makes it a pain in the asshole to get the door open. Other then that, no snow tires here, on any of the BMW's. No need, hardly drive them, yay for carpooling to work!

                  I use the E28 for longer commutes, and hauling stuff that you wouldn't want in a nice E46.. Haha

                    Wish I had a winter car, but snow tires will due for now. Staying low all winter too.
