Drove up from Southampton to a villiage north of chesterfield and didn't see any snow until chesterfield. Had to leave the E30 at the pub and walk the rest of the way. E30s seem very controllable in the snow but not too good at going up hills without momentum. With an LSD i bet it would be fine. Feel pretty safe in it to be honest.

First two was in 07's Blizzard in the Northeast, My red E30 M3 is buried there. The last shot is of my buddies car I used for a period of time when i was living in Germany. Have to love the freezing fog in the Eifel region.

Image

Oh two of my M3 out of three live inside for the winter, The other is the GF's e36 M3 which is her daily driver.

That last photo is beautifully framed! It's all the better for not having a car in shot.
