I just spent 4 hours yesterday driving in a snow storm which was falling on top of a solid icy glaze. I did really well in D1. The car starts in 2nd gear and the creep mode was great in the bumper-to-bumper traffic. The car also appears to magically know when I needed to engine break when going to down some steep back roads with about 6" of snow. I have Blizzak LM-25 (staggard set up) on 18" rims. The car did fantastic. Because of the icy glaze, there were Audi's and other AWD cars slip-sliding away while my M3 plowed on like a champ. I definately think that the M3's balance really helps with control in wintery conditions
