For the 20+ years prior to buying the M235i xDrive ragtop, my wife and I always had 2 vehicles (a ragtop (camaro, firebird, Z4, 128i) for the spring thru fall and a SUV (Rav4's Subaru Forester, BMW X1) for the winter).
Then with the 2er going xDrive in 2015, we went down to 1 vehicle. During the past 2 winters in the M235xi, I have felt every bit as confident in the snow and foul weather as I ever did with any of the SUVs we owned in the past.
BTW, I only have the OEM RFT all-seasons on the M235xi and they work well enough for me in the winter (P.S. don't tell anyone else here about this last part or I'll get the "winter tire" speech).
