For me a 75 mile round trip to work w/out awd would be a pain in the NY metropolitan area during the winter. Couldn't even make it up the hill to my present house certain days w/out awd. It's just way to easy to get stuck w/out it. I got through several winters w a 1991 3 series w snow tires on all four wheels just fine, but I always contemplated buying chains.
I'd love an M5 but I have a 550xi waiting to be picked up next week. I'm waiting for the M5 awd.
