Although i don't claim to be the best driver in the world by any means, BMW cars are shockingly sh1t to drive in the snow!

Don't they have traction control??

I passed three stuck Beemers on my 5 mile commute home on Friday. Rear wheel drive does have its share of additional problems to deal with but I think the bigger problem with BMW drivers, of saloons in particular, is that they only have FAST and FASTER options for the accelerator pedal ;D ;D

BMW 3 series is the new Ford Mondeo (reps thinking they're moving up in the world)

In fact it now out sells the Ford, so if you want a car that is a bit different and a bit more exclusive buy a Mondeo or if you don't mind driving the same as others wait a couple of years and the forecourts will be full of either black or white 3 series.

I've got a black 3 series, my second in fact. I bought it because they do 50mpg, has a cam chain, and it's German so it doesn't break easily. :-?

I've been driving mine in the snow with no problems. You just need to know how to drive (a RWD car). Oh, and be a woman. ;D :-*

As a "Sales Rep" Never had a BMW nor do I want one. Rather have the Mondeo any day over the BMW. As I drive an Alfa GT, Which not much better in the Snow. I can see the Alfa quivver at the sight of snow ;D ;D ;D

The mondeo is a great car, far better than the BMW

Rear wheel drive cars are much more fun :D

I like Mercs had a E320 coupe which was rear wheel drive. Loved it and as long as you feathered the throttle in the snow it was fine
