I also live in Regina, so I know what you mean about snow. What a winter! I picked up a 335 xDrive in October of last year - previous to that I had a RWD 325i e46. I was actually looking for a RWD 335i but they are rare around here (for good reason). The xDrive is pretty awesome. I never once had any issue going to work on unplowed roads, or getting even close to stuck in the parking lot at work and I was always the first one there in the morning. You won't regret the 335 at all.
The M3 is an amazing track car, but do you really want that for your daily driver? Like you said - the roads are long, flat, and straight. My 335i gets like 7.5-8.0 l/100km on the highway. I'd love an M3 but I'd want a track to run it on, otherwise I think a lot of it's wasted.
My 325i RWD was pretty good in the snow with a set of X-Ice tires, and the 335i xDrive is obviously better off the line and such. You will need winter tires though regardless.
