Driving after our first snowstorm in Ontario, Canada with new wheel and tire package from the dealership installed. Handling was not quite as confident as my AWD Acura TLX but that's probably because it is new and I'm not used to it yet. And the Bimmer is putting down way more power. I'm wondering if the rear-biased set up makes the car so fun to drive in the dry makes it a little less capable in the snow and ice? Probably just need more ice time to get used to it.

For the most part this car has been excellent and getting tail happy just means ease up on the pedal. I'm very interested in other snow-bound drivers' impressions.
