The Boxster is night-and-day better in the snow than any BMW I've owned. I believe its better than my wife's FWD Honda with all-season tires.

Wow that makes me feel a lot better! I will also be runnin 17" alloys with Winter tires (Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25/60)

I found my BMW to be very good in snow with just Conti Pro Contacts. I went up a 45 degree grade in a blizzard without any slip. If the porsche is better thats just awesome!
