Don't you love how the airdam is filled with snow from going through snow deeper than it is?

Definately. You can tell by those "-v-" shaped grooves on the edge packed with snow.

how is it in the snow Obioban, and which tires are they?

I've been contemplating putting a set of snows on my 18s...because i miss driving my car so much....but it's tough to accept exposing it to all the bad elements.

Poor IR M3. But the red does contrast nicely with the white snow.

**Obioban** · Fri, Dec-09-2005, 06:58:57 PM

Those are Dunlop M3s.

I wash the car 2x a week to minimize the salt damage.

I also have clearbra on the entire front so no damage should result from driving through the snow banks and plowing with the air damn

Just got back from driving more, just for fun. another 4 inches had fallen since I took those pics.

I love the looks people give you when you drive by in an M3 in the snow

Everything is good unless you're going up a steep hill with ice under the snow. That was the only time I had to turn back today. On the other hand... everybody I saw was turning back there.

just now when I was driving it was pretty much always 3-4 inches above the front bump (fogs under snow). It was getting a little tricky if I didn't keep my speed up... that's why i ended up coming back. For any reasonable quantity of snow (less than 1 ft unplowed) it's completely fine.
