Older BMW M3 Proves You Don't Need AWD to Tackle Snow and Ice

Such videos, shot in the first days of 2022, have already made their way to the web, and it is one of these that caught our attention, as it does not include reckless driving. More importantly, however, it proves, once more, that rear-wheel drive is extremely fun on slippery surfaces, and it’s a great way to learn how to control the car in possible brown pants situations.

As for the ride of choice in this case, it was a BMW M3 E92. Replaced by the first-ever M4, which in turn preceded the current one, the sports coupe was taken out for a short drive in New England, on the white stuff, with Vredestein winter tires on its feet, and an enthusiastic driver behind the wheel, who makes a good case for winter driving, no matter what vehicle you own.

We definitely get it, well, most of us do, at least, who have gone sideways on a few occasions without breaking the law. Still, some of our non-petrol head close ones do not, and we all know at least one such person, who won’t drive anything else than 4x4s, and would avoid snow and ice as much as they can, don’t we?

Truth be told, putting a car through its paces on slippery surfaces should be mandatory for everyone during driving school, as it is a great way to learn how a vehicle behaves, and how you can regain control in just a few easy steps. And if that car is a rear-wheel drive sports model, like the M3 depicted on film down below, then it’s even better.
