Any where I can get a lift kit for my 330i? I know it’s weird to want a lifted 330i but it’s my daily and I keep getting stuck in snow so I wanna lift it and put bigger tires on but I can’t seem to find a lift kit anywhere, any ideas?

googled 'e46 lift kit'

basically youre just going to add spacers to the strut mounts, rear shock mount, and spring pad
you might be able to mix and match e83 rear springs/arms, wagon spring, etc to get more lift.

yes, rear spring pads:
5mm # 33 53 1 136 385
7.5mm # 33 53 1 136 386
9mm # 33 53 1 127 224
10mm # 33 53 1 136 387
14.5mm #33 53 1 094 754

also, e90 strut spacer ~20mm

or a generic spacer (30mm)

Maybe try snow tires instead
Maybe even some decent all seasons, I've got half worn Continentals and only got stuck once. Driving on summer tires in freezing temps is asking for an accident.

What tires are you currently getting stuck with?

Well, that contributes significantly to you getting stuck, then. With RWD in a winter climate, you should install dedicated winter tires if you expect to remain mobile in snow deep enough where a lift would come into play. Lifting the car, on the other hand, will destroy the car's handling 100% of the time you drive, for a benefit you will need only .0001% of the time, and cost more.
