Looking at buying a Z4 coupe and I live in a place where we get REAL snow (Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan -- average snowfall of 100 inces/year). I plan on using the car all year (after all it DOES snow in Germany) and would like a bit more info re: your experience in the snow.
 
Up here in the great white north the road crews know how to plow. While I live outside the town the plows have typically been through and roads will have snow but rarely is it really deep -- that may be the case when I return from work or in the middle of a blizzard, but not normally. Any advice?

If I wanted to look at and not use my Z, I would have bought a photo, not the car. Why not use it as God and BMW intended?
 
Snow tires all around, some weight in the trunk, and you're good to go. Just remember to keep the salt washed off, and drive with a little more caution.

Thanks for the advice -- planned on getting winter wheels AND snows. A little worried about the amount of clearance -- don't want to turn into a snow plow
