Anybody share my thoughts about E28's in the snow? (archive)

Does anybody else feel that with a good set of snow tires (and a reasonably good driver), the E28, or any other BMW at that, is great in the snow? I'm constantly hounded by friends and family who believe that BMW�s should never be driven in the snow because RWD is sooooo bad in the snow and BMW�s are always on the side of the road when it snows. I honestly feel that of all the cars I have owned, a BMW with snow tires handles snow with no problem. I realize that if you have 18� Ultra-Performance tires on your E28 you are going to have a pretty rough time getting around, but so will anybody else in the same situation. I just can�t understand why everybody thinks RWD is so bad in the snow, when properly equipped with a good set of snow tires, can be as good as AWD.

Sorry for rant, just venting.
