I'll clarify, but I meant to say that as long as there aren't too many big hills and the lay of the land is relatively smooth, you'll be ok. Of course, with momentum you can make it up the hill but, as you experience, once you're stopped you may be S out of luck.

I drove my E46 in Pittsurgh for two years in the winter, and could actually make it up most hills - there were a few I learned to avoid.

Safest thing to do is move to a place with no snow

Haha, I wish it was that easy to move somewhere no snow. I would have done it in a heart beat. That being said, I don't mind the snow THAT much as you get used to it after a while and then it just adds different beauty and character to any place.

The votes are overwhelmingly towards the M3, sounds like I made the right choice!
