If your BMW is your only car and RWD, I would recommend a more aggressive snow tire tread rather than a performance snow tire and you will have better results. You'll be limited then only by clearance, driving skills, ice and really, really steep hills or combinations of those things.

I mean i really like my car......but the rwd is just more performanc oriented ....
Im thinking about having my girlfriend get an x3.....she doesnt want anything big otherwise id have her get the x5. I feel like if she had that we would always just take that to the mountains to ski and it would probably have snow tires on it so i feel like it would be pretty capable.
The only problem would be if only i was going up there.........because i cant leave her my car as its a stick.....even though she will be learning soon enough.
I def think that driving skills would play a big part, im pretty sure id be capable enough.
My cousin has a 330 with blizzaks and he doesnt have any real problems i the snow...but thats not out in the mountains with big inclines or anything soooo
