FWIW, I spent most of my adult life driving RWD cars with all season tires in northern Ohio.... It is "possible", but I ended up buying a spare set of wheels and dedicated snow tires first for my wife's old daily driver E36 325 and now her E46 330i. It makes a HUGE difference although I spent the last couple years daily driving the old E36 myself with just Falken Ziex 912 all season tires. It can be hairy with the all seasons, but I like the challenge and am a seasoned winter driver. My daughters succesfully drove their RWD Porsche 924's to highschool every day for several winters with the same all-season tires, but the 924's do a bit better in snow than the BMW's do with the all season tires.
I guess what I am saying is that if your daughter has zero winter driving experience, you better buy snow tires if you intend to have her get through her first winter of snow driving her RWD BMW without incident.
