I have a 330xi (MY 2006) and a 335i, and like driving the cars in adverse conditions. It goes without saying that both cars ride in winter on snow tires. So far, I have not encountered snow that the cars could not handle, but there is no doubt that each of them requires different driver's input. People often compare how the AWD and RWD perform. IMO, the two methods of propulsion are hard to compare - their driving dynamics are quite different, both in the winter and summer. In deep snow, the 330xi drives better simply because it has has more suitable underbody clearance. The OP is inclined to get a 335i, and in his shoes I would make the same decision - the 335i, with good snow tires, will do anything, and the RWD is more fun to use, rain or shine.
