So I am trying to gauge how practical it really is.
You're accustom to driving an AWD car in the snow. Hopefully with snow tires. IMO, a light AWD car like your BMW (or my WRX) with snow tires is the absolute best vehicle for on-road winter driving. Max traction, max control. A Boxster is manageable in light enough snow with snow tires, but it will never be as easy to handle as your ix. Can you manage a winter car? Do you need to drive every day or can you stay home during those ice storms?
