This. If it's AWD you may be able to get away with AS in the snow, but I wouldn't even think about it in a RWD car.

And, you don't need expensive wheels or TMS sensors for winter tires (I've never had a sensor to tell me the amount of air in my tires...and it's never been a problem). I'm sure you can easily find a square set of 17" rims for <$500. This is far less than the upgrade to xDrive and lets you have the best tires for the conditions as opposed to the compromise of an AS.
