Hello to All. I'm quite new to this. I bought my first BMW in July and am loving it. Quite a different ride compared to North American cars. I do have a question and not sure where I'm suppose to ask it. It's regarding my tires. I live in the lower mainland of Vancouver and we do get some snow. How will my car perform in the snow? Will I need to get snow tires? If so, just for the back or all 4's?

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Pertaining to your question about tires and handling in snow and ice. RWD vehicles inherently have a much harder time in snow and ice than FWD vehicles. Of course BMWs are mostly RWD. Snow tires will defiantly help in some cases and should be installed on all four tires.
