I'm not the authority here and I live in a tropical climate most of the year where the lowest low temp is 70F but I have a house in California and have all seasons on the X5's and we drive it to Mammoth to go skiiing in the dead of winter and have got caught in blizzards, black ice conditions, etc no issues. I just drive carefully and slow way in advance of braking or turning and become one with the car when on a curvy road and expect the unexpected. First time I ever drove in snow was about 5 years ago. Surprised at just how good these A/S tires are at handling these extreme conditions. If I can do it, you can do it.
So if you are just driving on nice days you should be fine with A/S. Of course dynamics of an M3 are different and it's not AWD but the issues occur when you are already at speed and need to brake and/or turn and AWD doesnt help then.
