Introduction
Hi guys,
There's no separate forum for intros, so I thought I'd do it in here. My names Mark, 20 years old, and I live in Warren. I currently do not own a bimmer myself, but my dad owns a 01 e46 323. We bought this car broken, fixed it, and now I'm looking for a bimmer for myself. I'm in the market for a 07-10 335i, preferably with xDrive for the snow. Also preferably a sedan with the 6MT. I know a 335xi E90 6MT combo is pretty hard to find, but I'm willing to wait for the car that I want. Currently, I drive a 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged. Bolted and tuned, and still slow. I knew I had to get out of the Cobalt, because the money I was spending on it could be going into a much nicer car. It's currently for sale, so if you know anybody that wants one, contact me. Anyways, looking forward to seeing you guys IRL and around the forums. I'll be lurking the marketplace for cars, in the mean time! Mark |

I know how it is to wait for the right car, lol. Maddening definitely. I've also considered e90 335i without xDrive and read countless threads on here about it in the snow and I'm still not sure about it. |

You are correct on the sport package, and definitely worth it. Takes forever though (3 years for me!). You can run the VIN here: http://bmwvin.com/ I went from a 328 xDrive to a 335i RWD last fall, put snow tires on for the winter just to be safe and didn't have any problem at all. There are a ton of articles about how snow tires are better than all seasons on AWD, but if you plan to put snow tires on your xDrive then I have no complaint against preferring AWD (other than the added complexity and weight). http://www.caranddriver.com/columns/...ur-wheel-drive Last edited by zivyn; 08-28-2013 at 05:47 PM..

I was probably going to keep all seasons on the xDrive, probably. I definitely would've considered a dedicated Winter set, money permitting, for the ultimate snow blazer. Do you DD your 335i in the snow? I've never driven anything really RWD in the snow. I've driven trucks on all seasons, but I've had 4x4 to lean on. |

Get snows for an xdrive or rwd. You won't regret it.
I even run snows on our range rover sport. Snows make a night and day difference on any vehicle. |

Hell yea broski
I ran a dedicated winter setup with blizzaks on my e92 335i for the past three winters and will continue to do the same on my e90 335i moving forward. I only got somewhat stuck one time in my brother's neighborhood due to an excessive amount of slush under a foot of snow. Even in horrid conditions, the BMW traction control and technology is superb. I recall one time cruising along in basically a whiteout with a solid amount of snow already on the ground and the only other vehicles on the road were plows, soccer moms in Tahoes/X5s/Rovers/Q7s, and me Quote:

Thanks for the replies, guys. I won't rule out an "I" then provided I do get a dedicated set of snows.
