Hey guys,
I just moved to Michigan and I'm planning to buy a new car here. As you know it snows quite a lot up here in Michigan and I havent really driven on snow before and I really like the 330 ci. I have heard people telling me I shouldn't get it as it is a RWD car and it will slide a lot. My friends have told me to buy either a FWD ro AWD car.. but I only like the look of the 330 ci..
Should i get the 330ci?
how does it drive on the snow?

First search the wheel and tire forum, then purchase snow tires and some cheap rims. It will handle the winter just fine with new tires on.

It will be fine with snows. People are just over dramatizing the RWD issue.

the car with stock performance tires will suck balls in more than two inches of unplowed snow.....you will need snow tires, then all will be well.

The A4 Quattro would be a much better choice in my opinion.

go for the 330xi - not that different from the ci, with some extra space and the awd

my 330Ci does fine in the snow on Blizzaks..Snow tires+ DSC work wonders..go for the coupe..buy some snow wheels and tires and call it the fisrt decision you will not regret in a while!

if you put 4 snow tires on

you will ride like a 4x4. i got the lm22 i feel like the king of the road when their is snow on the ground hehehe.
