+1 for the F10 in snow

I ended up getting my winter set late (mid-december) so I did once drive the M5 in ice and snow on rather poor roads with the PSS'....I now think I know how Fred Flintstone would feel if he tried to drive in the winter.

With 19's and 245 PA4's, though, I am really happy with it. I actually prefer RWD to AWD in the winter because I find it much easier to recover after losing grip (granted its tougher to lose grip with AWD, but, it happens). Between the new diff and the extra weight I find it does better than my E60 in the winter as well. The one area where the E60 is better is clearance. My neighborhood gets some pretty bad ruts in the hard pack before the graders come out and I can feel the underside of the chin rub on some of the bumps. (I wonder if that actually is less clearance or more give in the suspension in comfort mode)
