I have had a few E30 325ix's and they were awesome and very reliable. I had an X5 for 5 years that has been really reiable and is AMAZING in the snow especially when I put the Blizzaks on. I just bought my wife a 530Xi wagon and we love it. I do agree that a rear wheel drive BMW with snow tires is normally pretty good in the snow (Ive had 3 M3's and a 540 sport all with snows). Although the rear drive is good the AWD is so much fun!!! As for making them slower, yes slightly but my wifes Xi is plenty fast.
