335i with snow tires
Got stuck trying to clear the 2ft snow bank in front of my driveway. Other than that, it was pretty awesome..

325xi, all season tires that are getting a little low. No problem in the snow, hills, stopping, etc. Next year i'm getting some winter tires
With DTC off Completely - the car is fun as hell in an open parking lot!!! |

Got a little stuck in Burlington, Ma. off of 95North, 330i w/ 18" Hankook W300 winter tires. I left virginia at 730pm Wednesday night, drove straight up into Mass friday, hit the snow in Conn, RI, and drove 5 mph from southshore all the way to gloucester, mass. Took me about 12 hours to drive the 100 miles on 95!! Anything over 4" of snow and i'm plowing with my bumper. Total driving time=28 hrs straight from VA-MA.

^I like how the tires are on and off of snow. I read ratings and agree there is better for the snow but when I feel like pushing it on a normal day, it can. Great overall tire

Only time I got stuck was in my driveway. There is a small hill, I was dumb and when I backed up I stopped and got stuck right on it.
I'm sure if I had winter tires and/or XI it would be amazing. But as long as I dont get stuck in which I have no way of getting out then I'm fine.
