The only issue is clearance with deep snow, but you would have the same issue in a 330. Sometimes I found driving in winter easier with the DSC off, especially with deeper snow.
I've ordered my E92 and will drive it year round without question. I'll probably get the stock 18's for winter with some Nokian winters.
Get the car...you'll really appreciate how awesome it is to have a great handling car on ice!

Did you have Nokian's on your E46? - if so, how did they perform and how did they wear? I was thinking about Nokian's on my E46 M3 but ended up going with Dunlop Wintersport M3s as I was told that although you give up a little in winter performance, they wear better. I'm in Toronto so don't drive in heavy snow every day - often roads are clear. Not sure which tires to install on my E92 M3. In Europe they seem to install Michelin Alpins.
