i havent driven an m3 in snow or ridden in one in snow, but someone i know who owns one said he just bought really nice winter tires and it did pretty good. some people are just pussy's when it comes to driving in snow, my dad drove a 81? mercedes sel with 10 year old pretty much bald tires in the snow, all the time he would have to haul ass through the neighborhood to make it up this like 50ft long like 3 degrees slope and he never complained. just dont be a pussy, get the m3 and learn to drive it in the snow.

GLI GLI GLI

m3 is too old, if you wanna spend way more on repairs every year than you spent on the whole car get the m3. If you want a car that should be pretty reliable atleast for a few more years, just as much fun to drive, and slightly cheaper to fix if you hit something (although not much cheaper) then get the GLI, they are so dope. Old beemers are fun if you are really into cars and can work on them yourself or if you're super loaded. I haven't driven either, but I've ridden in both and GLI is way better than the older m3.

I don't think I'd go that far. If the VW is fwd like I think it is then the only way it could be fun to drive is if you enjoy understeering around every corner. The M3 is one of the ultimate driving cars, and there is no way any fwd car can even come close to being as fun and balanced.

no way, the m3 has like 70,000 miles, it will go till like 150 before having problems, the m3 is pretty new anyway, and vw's are known for having problems. the m3 is definatly gonna be more reliable

howabout a tastefull bodykit put out by such companies as Hamann, AC schnitzer, or Racing Dynamics. That is matched nicley to the color of the car and so on.

and that guy has some sense. 17s are the perfect size for an E36 for sure.

actually, that kinda true. those are normal 3 series, not m3s. although I still really like the Racing dynamics one. The ACS one doenst seem all that sporty, but it is styleish.

not with stock tires. i tried to drive my dads 96 328 when snowed last year, and it would fishtale if i tried to accelerate at all uphill. im sorry but fat wheels, rwd and a non-locking differential dont make for a good snow car. on the other hand it still drives so fucking nice for a 10 year old car and the only thing that has had to be replaced on it since it was new was 1clutch, rear tires, and brakes.

i love bimmers. they feel so nice mechanically and handle like a dream.
