M5 in the snow?
Was looking at a 535xi but see that m5s depreciate alot. Enough to make them relatively affordable. But I live in the northeast with bad winters. How are the m5s with nice winter tires? My charger is horrible in the snow. Dangerous even!

Well, it is'nt that bad at all. Once youre tires are right you are as good as it gets with 500bph.

Still a 4x4 is much better in the end in the snow but hey, that one hasn't got the V10 !

Similar situation, considering m5 versus 11 535xi. I am thinking with snow tires it will be absolutelly fine.

I like the 4x4 reply. I dont think many m5s are driving in the snow .Im sure they can ,but why would you risk it.
