Murray is correct in saying they will work all year round. Being able to work all year round, is different than feeling like your car has dependable handling in deep snow conditions.   Given this winter so far has been pretty brutal, I can say my 330i all-seasons have been working all year long, but the handling is terrible in the deep snow of the last couple of months.
#21884 of 30156 Hmmm, winter tires, again... by shipo Feb 13, 2003 (6:04 am)
Now that I have experience driving on snow with two BMWs and three types of tires, I will offer my "Subjective" analysis on how well they work on snow, on a scale of 1 to 10.   2002 530i - Michelin Pilot Primacy - 2 (Summer Tires) 1999 328i - Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus - 5 (All-Season Tires) 2002 530i - Michelin Arctic-Alpin - 10 (Winter Tires)   So, will all season tires work for the full 12 months? Ummm, sorta.   Best Regards, Shipo

"Ummm, sorta."   Well I think that accurately sums up the whole RWD winter tires vs. all-seaon tires debate quite succintly. Don't you think so also?

Good point, I hadn't thought about it that way.   Best Regards, Shipo

2003 and already with 10k miles? Did your friend buy it brand new? Wonder if someone before her owned it and just drove it into the ground? Or it could just be a "lemon".   I recently bought a new 2002 330i and its perfect- no problems so far. [cross my fingers]!!

2003, 330i, PP, SP, Xenon, Auto for $41k + and you have to still buy floor mats !!! Talk about trying to milk the cow till the very last drop, sheez.

I haven't paid for floormats since 1990.
