No, didn't you read - you continue to drive your nice expensive BMW in it. Its an engineering wonder and repels salt. Just drive it in the salt and cinders and let it get all scratched up, rusted, dull and just bad ass looking then sell it to some dumb ass and buy or lease your new 2012 M5 man, come on. You just need to have the skills to be able to drive it, to avoid the salt and cinders and icy parts of the road. Are you a retard who can't drive in the snow or what?
Sorry guys, just absurd some of the post that I see on here.

I read it.. you sure can drive it... but I'm willing to bet that two identical cars one living in a non salt environment and one living in a salt environment, the one in the non salt will fair better in the long run.
German engineering is not engineered to last a lifetime, maybe a few years after warranty, perhaps 2X warranty period... the harsh environment will take a toll on your German engineered car.

It's not so much the salt and sand that bothers me. It's the car wash - most of the year I hand wash but this time of the year..I'm at the mercy of the scrubbing bubbles

Also, I had to get put of my m3 to help my neighbor who was stuck in snow with his x5 4.4 pretty fail to me.
To OP, I think you should just sell your car, I think it's so harmful omg omg omg hope you didn't chip your nail princess.
I drive my M3 and my AMG in snow, rain, slush all the time, if you know how to take care of your car, it doesn't matter what at u drive. my boss drives his vette in snow lol

I hate to burst anyones bubble. Bt myM3 drives just as good in the snow as any other car ive had. Its not an exotic lambo or a bugatti here. Im paying for it, so ik driving it. Period. And as Kerry stated, i do also believe that these cars are made to handle anything. Hence all the big bucks. Youvegot the best of both worlds. Sorry if you disagree, but i drive my M3 in the snow better then some gyys drive there 4 wheel drive trucks!

"it doesn't matter what at u drive"
regardless of your sentance structure. I get your point... I am sorry I tried to start a funny thread about winter and the downfalls of keeping a nice car clean. I just looked for a venting point after spending 15 minutes getting ice off my car before work. I will refrain from any venting in the future... but just so you know I have no interest selling my car, I love it just not in this weather. I do know how to take care of it as well. Honestly I was not expecting this kind of response, but since i did go at a high post member earlier I guess i had it coming. You m3 winter drivers apparently stick together!

I just have to say that I hate 
having a nice car in the winter. I love my car so much and hate to see it covered in ice, being scraped off, salt on the carpets, salt everywhere. THIS is the last winter I will drive this or any other BMW I buy. If anyone else feels this way post your winter HATE here...... and oh yeah west coast people are lucky, so lucky.

nice! this thread took a turn for the worse.. I originally just wanted to share that I hate keeping my car clean in the winter. I was in no way complaing about how it handles in snow or bad conditions ( it actually performs great ). I guess when I said " Ill never drive this or any BMW in the winter" i went too far. Well on that note im done... hopefully this thread is too omg omg omg omg.. i think i just broke a nail
