garage for the cold winter???

[SharkmanBMW]

Montreal weather is cold and snowy/slushy and salty.....
I have a garage at my home, but am unsure if parking a wet car in a closed "box" for 12 hours at a time is a problem... I can heat it or leave it cold, whichever.
The point is, if I park a wet car in a garage, will this cause rust to start sooner?
There is no ventilation, only electric heat and a drain in the floor.

I want this car (my 330xi) to last MORE than I care about having to sweep snow off my car. Is it better to leave it sit outside?
Any pointers would be nice!

I would use the garage, I have had several vehicles decompose outside and none inside.

I have read that a non-heated garage is the best, followed by a heated garage, followed by leaving the car outside.

right, if its heated the car will sweat as it warms up making the salk and other goodies cause worse damage.
