So i have a 92 300d in very good condition that i store in the winter. I picked up a very clean 99 E300 for my parents with a blown head. Ended up swapping in a used motor with 74k. 195k on body. In the winter I drive a 2004 civic with snow tires. Well i was feeling the wagon bug and bought a 2006 awd bmw530xi wagon. After i got it home I'm thinking its much to nice for me to use as proper wagon so i asked my folks if they wanted to swap. So my question is, how would a E300 with snow tires compare to the civic with snow tires. I can casually drive down 6" deep streets with ease, will the E300 be similar?
