Put some winter tires on it, and drive it year round. My RWD got around fine in our Minnesota snow. Completely predictable and solid with the nannies on, and great fun in DTC mode when traffic/space allowed. Way better than any FWD car on all-seasons I've owned.

Still, can't wait for the snow to melt and be consistently above freezing so I can put the summers back on.

Usually mid-April, so just a few more weeks.

Also be nice to wash it. If you're OCD about how your car looks, you just need to turn that off in the winter and live with the incredible amount of slop on the car. Sometimes it gets so thick you can't read the license plates. But it looks so good after the first spring wash you fall in love with the car all over again.

Realistically, I'm looking at May 1, not too bad!!!

Been a long haul, started getting snow, here, in October! Hasn't let up all winter. Great Ski'son, but I'm done and want my car back!

Ditto. No need for 2 cars.
Traded my X1 & 1er cabrio in 2015 for the M235xi cabrio and she's a great 4 season all-weather car.
