0 Narcosis Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Same as driving any other car in the snow, wouldn't you think?

0 240sxguy Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Winter tires. Go practice in a parking lot, things happen differently on snow vs. rain or regular asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Narcosis Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 On a more serious note, I've never owned a set of snow tires. My cars have always been on good all season radials, and while snows would have provided more control, I know how to drive well enough that it's not an issue. With that said, get a good set of snow tires and drive in a sane manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, get a good set of snow tires and drive in a sane manner. Same here, never had an issue. Driven e28/e36/e39s daily in the snow but I knew the cars and roads well. You can pick up good snow tires used too if you don't wanna invest in new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 6670charger Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Aside from all of the Rage Drifting, the main keys are good winter tires, good driving techniques, and keeping your lights and wheel openings clear of snow. Good winter tires can be either actual snow tires, or good quality all season tires. Either way, with a RWD car, you're best off with a set of four. Beyond that, drive at reasonable speeds where you can keep control of the car. My E30 is a beast in the snow, and drives almost like my wife's AWD. I have to watch myself to make sure I don't get over confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jawa Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I say dont drive it in the snow and buy a rusty bucket for the price of a set of snow tires problem solved. its a car, a car that can be driven in winter , so what if it gets a little rusty, its going to happen sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 REKIII Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 its a car, a car that can be driven in winter , so what if it gets a little rusty, its going to happen sooner or laterSo, if you had a bugatti veyron, you'd tool around all winter in the salt and watch it get rusty? A blanket statement like that is stupid. Some of us don;t want our cars to get rusty, ever and will do what we need to, to avoid it. If someone has the means to be able to preserve the car they love then so be it. YoungCR, rampelsauce and I love my E39 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DrLeadFoot Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 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?????

0 I love my E39 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 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.
