Winter Sucks

This is the day i have been dreading for about six months and its getting colder and colder about -25 to be correct,so it time to say good bye to the 300 and put it in a nice warm show room, I hate to see it go but i live in canada not in the sun shine of cali unlike some on here. But you do what you need to do to keep everything perfect for you car. but it has a up side a got a 325i to drive for the winter its' not as good but at least it's still german. winter sucks

How is a 325i any better in the winter? It is still rear wheel drive. My impression is that the 3-series BMW is even worse in the snow, since it a lighter rear whell drive vehicle.

I don't love winter either, but it isn't really too bad in southeast PA.

maybe he means a 325xi.. the all wheel drive model.

i have a C230K coupe and have to drive up this Thanksgiving to the mountains in PA. I just read weather and they're predicting Snow! I never drove this car in snow. How bad are they in snow? If it's just an inch or two can you still drive or does it spin all over?
