JDuck No. 2 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I didn't know BMW ever made any front wheel drive cars. They can actually be good in snow, more weight is over the drive axle typically. Modern (studless) snow tires make 4WD unnecessary unless it's really deep. I live in Central Oregon too. I've had Accords and we have a newer turbo Jetta now (with a stick shift). Got my fricken-150 of course. Did anyone get anything else out of that article? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Ducker1 No. 4 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Every front wheel drive car I've had has handled not only snow but ice very well. I dont think BMW makes a FWD only maybe a 4 wheel dr but that would be the SUVs. OK so I did some hunting and found out that only recently BMWs are making front wheel driver autos----- like in the last 3 years.

bbmichaels No. 5 Share Posted December 27, 2023 BMW does rear and awd. I have an old e46 rwd that I love, and has great traction control for a rwd car. My guess is that he had rwd but wanted fwd and just didn't word it very well in the story...? I have to admit that I very much disliked JC when he was at the Oregonian but I've liked him much better since he's been out on his own. But I must say the OSU slant to the Pac-2 saga is getting tired. Anyway, tires are 90% of the battle in terms of winter driving... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X3 and X5 (SUVs) are more recent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
