Could I drive the RWD in some snow with all seasons on? The thought of winter tires sounds expensive and like a hassle. Thanks!

As long as you don't get overcharged for swapping tires, getting a winter set just means you can go twice as long with your initial set if you have a place to store the tires away from the elements. I bought a set of winter tires and have my "summer" tires in storage. I know that doesn't work for everyone, but I like the confidence of knowing I can drive in bad weather. IIRC, tire rack did a study the other year where a RWD 3 series with winter tires did better than an xdrive 3 series with all seasons.
