Anyone of you in Canada or wherever have one that you drive in the winter?? Is it suitable for the winter essentially?

lol driving a beemer in the snow is like ice skating

No, but if you can afford an M3, you should be able to afford a winter car/truck. If not, you are a WANNA BE!!

M3's are nice BTW. Love 'em.

If you don't want to buy an SUV for the winter, get your self a set of winter tires and wheels. The car is not driveable on the stock tires in snow.

With winter tires, it drives alright, slides a little, if you're careful, and used to snow driving, you'll be fine. The car is just useless in over 5-6 inches of snow (on the roads)

m3's are performance sport cars, like a porshe or ferrari, would you take one of those in a snow storm?

Uhh.. buy a proper winter beater for Canada.. something 4x4 preferrably.

I drove m3 this winter on ZR (summer) rated tires.
Well let me say you. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS, with capital letters.
With snow tires you should be ok. But still winter beater is highly recomended.

I used to have an M3 and after that bought a 320i....... when it's a little wet or snowing both are a disaster to drive, get into a turn and add a little power and whoooops....... your out of there, the back of the car swing all directions. It's a good and fast car on a dry road going straight ahead, not a car to drive in winter or on wet roads. Fucking back wheel tracktion. Mercedes is pretty stable though with it's back wheel traction.

Get some blizzak's or something and you should do just fine. In all honesty tough, i have to agree with some others that the m3 is a summer-fun-car not an allaround..

You will be fine!

x582 · 04-10-2003, 06:55 AM

Dont tell me thats yours? I thought the new ones didnt come to North America until the summer!?!?

magicmike · 04-10-2003, 09:31 AM

Haven't tried the 330xi in the snow but the 325xi kicks ass in the snow... A bit slower but you don't get stuck, plus all the traction control if you start to skid it does all the work for you...

My f-150 lightning licks in the snow ... not surprising seeing as it sucks in the rain too

M3's rule!
