Hey everyone! It's looking like I'll be heading to the University of Notre Dame this coming fall to further my academic career at the Law School (I'm waitlisted at a couple of other schools, but I've placed a deposit with Notre Dame and am extremely excited).

That being said, I've never had my M3 in real 'winter.' I got the car in Maryland, but during the spring, and soon after had her back home in Los Angeles. I will most likely be shipping the car in the Fall and driving back to Los Angeles for summers (where I will by trying to secure intern and externships during my law school career and it is where I ultimately want to begin my professional career post law school) [I've lived in LA my whole life minus 4 years at Hopkins in Baltimore, where I had a car only my last year].

So... I'm wondering what the BMW community is like out here (currently in South Bend visiting the law school for an admitted students day tomorrow).

I also know that I will need to invest in a GOOD set of winter tires. Any recommendations would be sincerely appreciated. I'm not planning on doing much snow driving (wherever I choose to live will have to have a covered parking lot), but I want to make sure that I can drive more comfortably in heavy rain and small (*very small*) amounts of snow.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to meeting some bimmerpost members if I move down here this august!
