If you really like the bimmers, and must have one, then do get it, and buy some POS Subaru or Jeep for the winter.

Audi Quattro or even FWD will drive circles around you in the snow/ice/slush.

Yes, BMW can be driven in snow, but only if you get proper snow tires (on all fours), and put six tonnes of sand in your trunk.

I park my bimmer every time it snows (even light dusting), because I have summer tires (really wide), so it's is suicidial to drive it.

I cannot make it up my driveway - it's about 1% slope up - traction control switched on, and off!

BTW, I live in Toronto, so I know what snow is.
