I drive mine here in Chicago with snow tires and you will be a ok. I even took it out the worst day of the snow season and commuted for 4 hours and not a scratch. Just a little slide which I cured by leaving in 2nd gear.
On the other hand, plenty of normal cars in the ditch and a sweet X5 face first in a street pole.
The winter comes down to you driving with some intelligence and a lot of care.
And please please discount the statements of those that haven't driven the box with a set of snow tires...kind of hard to speak without experience on this particular car......18" continentals on mine and not a problem.
Like DJ, I've driven in the snow on summer tires twice, don't recommend it, but I'm still here typing.
