Jason, That's what the guy told me. If it's BS, so be it. I'm just relaying an anecdote. If it is incorrect, I apologize for spreading misinformation. The M3 owners I've spoken with seem to agree with me that the E36 M3s are terrible in bad weather. Granted, they are not Michael Schumacher, so their wet weather driving abilities are not superhuman.
