I went to Concours this morning to have my 3rd brake light replaced due to cracking, and the service advisor asked me "so, how does that handle in the snow?" lol, it clearly sticks out like a sore thumb in a bad way in winter.  135 =/= winter-friendly.

BMW+snow tires=awesomeness

100% agreed.  The first winter I had my 5 I drove it (which was incredibly stupid and cost me about $4K) .  It handled great!  I had a set of Blizzaks on it and I could go through anything.  I burnt the rear two off, which sucked.

I had the e90 yesterday and today with the snow tires and she is an absolute beast in the snow! She actually turns in snow!

Snow tires will be on the E90 for next winter if I can find some nice 18" summer rollers.

Surprisingly I was able to get out of the snow pile with out shoveling. Couple times back and forth and my 435/60R22.5 rears were able to get some traction in 3rd gear.

Slidy time later in the Burb though when I go to get groceries!
