+1 on this.

335i and 330Ci with winters was definitely much better than my old Audi A4 with Quattro on all seasons.

+2.

Also coming from a Quattro A4 with winters. Quattro was great for starting in deep snow and helped in faster corners. In other winter driving situations, such as stopping (probably being the most important part of winter driving), the 335i with winters is not far off.

so I got the winter package wheels and run-flat tires 17 inch for 2500 $
I know it s very expensive but I think 17 is much better in snow and I dont need to pay every year to change my tire .

I spent the dough, too. I went with BMW Style 188 and Blizzak LM-25 XL. They're great! Taking the wheels to the tire shop I can only transport 2 at a time in my 335i. It would take too long and it nicks you time and again, $100 twice a year. I'd rather change the wheels myself anyway. And keep my style 189s out of winter danger.
