I think the m3 has some sort of “posi” type rear diff making both tires spin thus creating adequate traction.

it has a 3.15 LSD rear end, clutch pack design with something like 25% lockup. later E36s got 3.23 LSDs and this is a popular and cheap upgrade. (I have one in mine)

How long did it take to find this? I am always looking but the “good ones” always seem to have stupid pricing or they are 1500 miles away.

When people see walker a coming, they can just tell that he’s going to low ball the shit out of them, and they give in. That’s how.

I’ve driven e30’s, e34’s, e46’s and my e39 M5 in the winters for the past 7 years? Never had an issue. Even with summer tires on in some cases. Proper throttle application and you’re fine. If you can’t handle 200whp and RWD in the snow you don’t have any business being on the road anyway.

there are a few others, but most are not likely to fit.
