2009 C63
Had the car since last June in Toronto..
So far so good I have to say with snow tires .. I came from a AWD SAV (yes.. SAV as BMW puts it) and that was a big change.
The C63 was my first rwd sedan in this kind of weather but not much problem yet.. just stay out of snow storms LOL

Im in the same area and don't drive mine in the winter.

To keep it white, wash it often.

There are a few members on here from Canada who drive their cars in the winter, with full winters, some with aftermarket wheels as well, they seem to be doing fine, I know there is C63 Canada and Callmiro, as well as NORTH44 C55 etc, try doing a search you might find what you want.

Don't even bother to keep it white.. any attempt is futile LOL especially when the snow starts to melt..

Welcome. Living in Texas I thought that "Winter" driving would not be much of an issue. However, since its been snowing for the past 18 hours and we have over 6 inches of snow, I got my first taste of driving the C63 in snow. Not too, bad, just take it easy!!
