I am not a big fan of all wheel drive anyway...mass, complicated system, drive train loss, and poor mileage. I live above 5500 feet and yet there are only a few days a years where the highways are not passable. Snow tires on a rear wheel drive platform will perfom in the snow as well as all season tires with all wheel drive. All wheel drive doesn't make much of a difference if the tires are not getting traction.

Yeah, a 335i coupe w/4 Blizzaks or whatever will likely do the trick.

I am not that familar w/ Audis. Is the B8 you are referring to the new A4?
