      It's a car... drive it. Throw snows on it and it makes for a super fun car to drive in snow.

      540's seen winter all it's life, snows make it amazing, and the DSC is very sweet, also much better when turned off... but I know you are talking e30

      Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

        My Dad loved his 540i in the snow. Same goes for my E28's, BMW's in general kick ass in the winter. The E28 has been parked for the winter this year though as I'm gonna start ripping it apart for the rebuild. I just purchased a 1998 C2500 6.5l Turbo Diesel Suburban which will be my daily until the E28 is finished up in the spring.

              I drove my first e30 through winter, was terrible until I got snow tires. The wear on the body was terrible, rusted like mad. Never again.

              The red car will sit in the garage being worked on! I have a 93 blazer for my daily/winter.

              That DSC video was pretty sweet.

                  I drove my 5 the first winter I had it. Caused lots of damage to it and will never do it again, but with the blizzaks, that car would go anywhere.

                      I got the E28 all set up for winter. 16" steelies, on balding continental conti-sports, that TJ wore down to just about the wear bars. Should be exciting :)

                        E36 tucked away for winter, probably wait a couple weeks to throw the snows on the e46 touring.

                          I bought and installed snows on my Nissan last winter..........

                          had fun using them for a whole 2 days. Should have just driven the beem all year.

                              Running snows just insures that it doesn't snow all winter;)

                                  Its definitely good car control practice, and at legal speeds :) I think I like rainy days more for that though.

                                      I'm respraying my car. I'm not quite sure if I have the balls to drive it in the winter after killing all that rust. Anyone plasti dip their car clear in the winter or something?
