All I know is that my ///M scared the crap out (m) (archive)

me when I got hit with snow driving to San Fran from portland. Maybe it's the tires (BFg Gforce KD), but it was almost impossible to get moving from a stand still without fish tailing all over the place, stopping was a complete crap shoot as well. maybe with Blizaks it would be different, but I do NOT want a 240 HP rear wheel drive car for driving in the snow. Granted I havent grown up with it, but I spent my (not so far gone) youth going to lake Tahoe every weekend, and have driven in the snow a good bit.

hi, all --
i live in the boston area (orig from SF bay area where it doesn't usually snow) and i've found myself enamoured with the 2001 z3 3.0 coupe (in yellow). my concern is how it would handle the snow because i live where slow plows don't frequent much & i really am a crummy snow driver. (i drive a '90 acura which loves the snow when it's wearing blizzak tires & no matter how wreckless i am, that car seems to take care of me.)

the BMW dealer today told me that the z3 coupe is a second car, not a primary commuter car, which for me it would be. if i put good tires on it & drove carefully, would i be OK in the snow? i've read this car doesn't like foul weather. true?

i'd appreciate input from all climates. :)

thanks,
el
