Newbie Here
I'm looking to purchase my first E90 3-Series, and I was sold on the 325xi. Then after going to the dealer, the salesperson stated that "the 325i with snow tires is 80% of the 325xi in terms of handling and grip on the road". So the question posed here is, is the xi worth it or should I just go with snow tires. PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE!

Snow tires will you get through the worst winter NY has to offer.

Here's a novel idea. Put snow tires on the same rims. If you scratch em up after a few winters, whatever they're just 17's. Upgrade to the summer wheels you really wanted - style 162.

um.... your XI will be just as much of a roller skate in the snow as a RWD 3er without the right tires.
snows with storage: 1100 dollars
removal and mounting: 160 dollars, round trip
no more "my car sucks in the snow" posts: priceless.....
you want all wheel drive, get all wheel drive, but it's a performance feature, not a means to a hybird all weather machine. 50/50 weight balance makes my e90, and made my e46 better cars in worse winters with RWD than anything (including an old quattro) I have ever owned...
