Pretty clean, looks like it was recently detailed

It wasn't me...Ive been gone for 2 weeks and I got in late lastnight. I hope no one broke into my garage at the apartment and stole her!!

Did it have a Michigan Iraq Vet Plate?
I didnt notice the plate.

Now i just wish a big rainstorm would come for a few days and wash all the grime off the roads. I love the snow but hate the way it gets dirty and nasty.

My X5 has been doing all the work since it snowed. I have 3-4 feet on the M3 side. Until it melts the M3 will probably sit. lol

For those wanting to drive their M3, the weather for next week looks good. Predicted to be in the mid to upper 40's and sunny.

Not if the snow melts and gets mixed with the salt and calcium!

This is true, one could hope (even though I do want the cold and snow for skiing).

I still drive mine daily. I swapped down to 18's with Dunlop Wintersport 3D for the winter. I plan on borrowing my brothers car if it's going to snow hard. He fortunately takes the train to work.

I love that the M3 warms up pretty quick, but was freezing my hands the other night when I left work. Steering wheel is so thick that it takes forever to get warmed up.

I am in northern CT and am driving a different M3 as my DD - a Mazda3. I have not daily driven the ///M since we had our first snow. However, I will be taking her out on nice days here and there to stretch her legs.

I want to take mine out but with the snow here and my M3 being super clean with my shiny black TE37s it may not be wise as my X5 has gotten a beating with the 30+ inches of snow over the past few weeks.

Saw a White E92 M3 heading into Watertown Sat. Looked lowered and had CF mirror caps. If the owner is here, I was in the grey ML63 that gets the nod when there is snow or rain around.

I am in Newton, MA. I bought my car two months ago, just in time to put winter tires on (daily driver for my four-mile commute). Mods listed in signature below ;-).

I seem to see M3s all over in Boston. I pass a 2008 E92 6MT in the lot at work almost every day. I also sometimes see a white E93 in the lot too. A colleague has a 2011 E90. My 5-year-old daughter's best friend's dad drives a 2011 E93.

Welcome

How does it handle in the snow? Any issues during morning start ups?

I live on a steep hill and driving into our street at around 11:30pm on Saturday 12/29 proved impossible with several inches of unplowed snow (while I later learned I should've switched off DSC, I'm not sure that would've sufficed). But at that time the car managed the hills along Commonwealth Ave (including a couple of hill starts) and braking and steering weren't so bad. On lesser snow, the car has been fine.

Morning start-ups aren't so bad. Takes about a mile or so to warm up. Though it did seem a little bit groggier when the weather was a bit colder recently.

I see a white e92 M3 in the N. Quincy T station parking lot often. I also see another white e92 m3, with a Vorstein type rear wing, with the DRIFT license plate. I think he lives like a mile away from me.

Wish I could drive mine during the winter. Wouldn't want to do, she's nice and clean in the garage
