I used to be an E46 guy, then in '07 went to a E92 and now I am back. I forgot how much better E46s are in the snow if they are equipped with proper snow tires. I am running the same winter rims/tires on the ZHP as I did on the E92 and the difference is night and day between the cars. With the numbed out E9x steering I never knew what's going on where the rubber meets the road.

Good deal. When I initially read the thread title, I thought it was going to be a video of you doing donuts in Lowes parking lot.

Hey... how did you know what I was doing in the parking lot?

Yes, these are very capable cars in the snow with the right tires. Much better than a typical FWD due to the near 50/50 weight balance and traction control along with stability control.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

These are straight off the E92. Rial wheels with Dunlop M3 or 3D I can never get it right.
E92 335i. Engine power is phenomenal. Sadly that's all I can say about that car. Fit and finish looked of lesser quality than the E46 and the extra weight can be felt in the turns. The feedback in the steering wheel was completely taken away which makes highway rides a little more pleasant but I like the feel of the ZHP better.

Funny, our cars look identical for the winter (besides the corner lights).
The E90 offset works pretty good on our E46s!

hey if these pictures are thread jacking let me know and I'll delete them. I thought it'd be good because it's the same theme. Last year, Dunlop Wintersport M3s rear/M2s front.
