I live in Michigan, USA. We have 3-4 months out of the year when we get snow and I live on a hilly suburban area, thus with 8-10 inches of snow during snow storms, its so convenient and safe to have an x-drive to get through the heavy snow and up and down the hills. The other months are fine with spring/summer/fall being warm from 50 degrees in early spring to 90 degrees during mid-summer. I could get a RWD BMW and put snow tires, but I rather put down an extra 2000 dollars and just go with good all season tires (granted that all seasons are not perfect like winter tires) since i had RWD cars before, but they get stuck on the hills and high grade driveways. Anyways, we have a 335xi coupe and its perfect all year round: sporty, smooth, and goes through the snow just fine. I have an Audi A8L and Mercedes Ml350 4matic (all AWD cars). Most of the driving are on highways (40-80 miles a day driving).
