New Here! Quick Question!

[redbeast]

My wife currently owns a 2001 Acura 3.2cl. And she always dreamed of having a BMW. I have a 1999 transam that is my daily driver for rain ,snow or shine. My car could be a handful in bad weather. Now I'm planning to trade my car for a 2003 bmw330ci auto to surprise her. My question, Is the bmw with traction control and stability control safe in bad weather? I know they have an awd drive model but she really wants the 330ci coupe. Thanks Lamar!

Welcome Lamar, BMW's do have good traction control however it is not intended for snow driving.

If you want something safe in all-weather I would suggest opting for the Xi all wheel drive sedan instead of the coupe.

Thanks for the reply! I did find a 2003 330xi hopefully I could check it out today.

I would add my welcome as well Lamar, and I concur with Tom.

I own an Xi and it's a great car but make sure you give the car a thorouogh check over from suspension components to include CV boots!!! i know from experience!! Good Luck!

People have said they've felt fine in the 330ci with snow tires. Within reason of course.
