I'm also in the Chicago area and drove my M5 all winter in the city, the burbs, highway, etc.. I drove through a snow/ice storm from Milwaukee back to Chicago with no problems. No way would I buy another car based on AWD alone.
For anyone worried about how the M5 handles in the slushy stuff, fear not. This car was made for all seasons. Just get the right tires. I'll take my RWD M5 with winter tires over another car's AWD with all season tires any day.
