It gets colder here than where you live, and icy. I never got stuck. You're missing out on your life if you think that you'd have problems with RWD and have to have a car that you don't truly want because of it. An M3 would actually be better than a regular RWD or some 4WD around... Cheers |

If it didn't snow as much here (Less than 20cm a winter) then I would have probably special ordered a RWD, or gotten one of the cars mentioned. Quote:
I've also seen a C63 plow front bumper first into a bridge wall as he was accelerating from a light. |

I can send you thousands of pictures that I took myself of several Mazda CX-5 "parked" on a sidewalk stopped by a hydrant, trucks, Hummers in ditches... I'll just leave this here just in case: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1210663 Again, I never got stuck and never hit anything. I daily drive, ESPECIALLY when there's a storm (I like driving so much I just take my car out when I see inclement weather, even on a Sunday night). cheers Last edited by NOITALL; 01-15-2016 at 06:34 AM.. |

That said, I have my car longer now and I actually enjoy being able to power through the corners just at the limit of traction or beyond just before the nanny kicks in. It almost feels like the nanny's are letting me slowly do more and more over time. It also feels to me that I could go faster through the corners I know well than in my E92. Hmm, maybe it is just a feeling since the car is bigger or the suspension was too jittery in E92? I have the adaptive suspension in sport. Last edited by radm; 01-15-2016 at 01:20 PM.. |

LSD will be great. I don't have an LSD so my car is a 1-wheel drive in the winter... LOL. 2-wheel drive will be much better. Cheers |

For the 0 to 5 days that we get snow here in Vancouver you will be fine with rear wheel drive and good snow tires unless you have to drive up extremely steep unplowed roads. The last time we had snowfall on the ground in Vancouver that was more than 4" was 7 years ago and as you know this year so far we have haven't had snow on the roads more than 1/2" deep. The forecast for the next 2 weeks..........more rain
