335i w/ sport pkg -- how bad in snow?

I'm not one to talk, because i am also way to lazy to change to a winter tire. But I have Xi (I know I know Its not about going its stopping) But if you have a RWD car, you should deff go with a set of winter tires and rims. It will save your ass.

Ok, I think I'm pretty much convinced to keep the sport pkg and get winter tires/rims. Any suggestions? I looked at tirerack.com but they don't show anything for the 335i sedan (yet). Do the selections for the 335i coupe fit the sedan?

Yes they would.

I went with Dunlops DSST M3s winters in 225.45.17 all around-my rims are M5 replicas (the previous gen M5) I got mine from a Canadian site www.tiretrends.com

I believe that they will ship to the US as well; however, Tirerack has some ASA mags which will do the trick for the winter as well. I think that whatever fits the 330 sedan will also fit the 335.

I recommend you actually go with a tire width that is narrower than mine, try to see of 205s will fit a 17 inch mag (lowest level you can go in the 335). If not, go for 215.
