Want 335is but what about snow?

seis-speed · 07-26-2010, 12:10 PM

I have an Xdrive e90 now, but I was looking at the IS and even though it is a coupe, I think I could use it as a DD.

I am wondering what peoples experience in the 335i coupe has been in the winter with a good set of snow tires?

winter tires and LSD. I have an E90 and it was absolutely horrible in snow last year. I think i might get the LSD and some Blizzaks

You should be fine with snow tires. If you get stuck, it'll be because of ground clearance and not RWD.
