First off, WHY? Get a damn truck or something.
Second, someone thought of this before you did. This company actually designs a snowplow meant for small cars. http://nordicautoplow.com/
And here it is being used on an e30

You may want to consider buying an old suv/truck -- Snow plows put a lot of strain on your transmission (not to mention voids the warranty if your transmission breaks).

The 3-series was not designed to be a snow plow -- which may also explain why you can't find a snow plow for it.

My suggestion is either

1. Buy a snow blower (probably equal cost when you consider a plow + installation on your car)

or.

2. Buy an old truck/suv and throw a plow on that. Then your car won't have to take the abuse of plowing snow.

Hope this helps.

Bungee cords? Wooden studs? Neoprene material meant for a wet suit? Sounds like someone built this in his garage with a whole bunch of junks. Thanks but no thanks. I will get a snowblower for the same price instead.

A plow is for pussies; add flame thrower to the front of the car.

Whats funny is you idiots think he is being real. I looked at the interior thread as well, not totally sure that isn't Photoshopped.
