Oh man do a search. We have spent the last six months debating this!

I drive mine in the winter by the way. With a set of Blizzaks it handles great.

I second the Blizzaks. Drove my 2002 330ci every winter I owned it with Blizzaks and an 80lb bag of salt over the rear axle. Never had an issue even in fairly deep snow. Of course if it's too deep and you frame it all bets are off.

Ain't nothin' to it but to do it.

I third the Blizzaks!! I live outside Philly and we had a crapload of snow this year. My Camaro was solid in all kinds of conditions!

A good set of winter tires/rims...or, my opinion, store it when the bad weather hits. That's what I do...then I take it out and enjoy it between storms once the roads are dry.
