Malarkey. I drove Z4's year-round in New Hampshire for years and my M40i should be delivered in December. They do fine as long as the roads are plowed, which is basically always here. When the state plow leaves a berm at the end of the driveway I either have to get out and dig or steal my wife's X3, but that's it.

I don't even really like the Pilot Sport II's on my M4 on cold roads, let alone freezing. The hockey puck analogy is apt. Get really good winter tires, though, and you're good to go.
