We got our first snow of the winter here the other day, and with snow tires the RWD E90 is fine. From a standing start, I find it better in the snow than my FWD VW Jetta (also with Traction control and the exact same winter tires). I think due to BMWs traction control being better. I also notice a difference going around corners while accelerating (like away from a light). The wheels spin and the back end comes around a bit quicker than it would otherwise, but the traction control kicks in before it you start to worry, and it's actually pretty fun. It's like you can throttle steer at low speed.
