As far as the BMW goes, a M240i xdrive might do quite a bit better where you live. I'm not a fan of my m2 in the rain and I would not even want to test it in the snow. My m2 is my daily, but it shares duty with a 2008 A4 quatro for bad weather.

I don't ever see myself owning AWD cars, same goes for trucks, cross-overs, etc. They just suck the fun out of driving. Test drove RS3 and while fast, it was quite boring. Zero drama.
My current ride is a 340i with full bolt-ons (440 at the wheels). Haven't had any issues the past two winters running winter tires. In fact, my car has considerably more traction in the winter than my wife's ES350 on all seasons.
