2012 E63 Wagon in the winter ?

Hi guys, Im about to buy a 2012 E63 wagon. Does anyone have any feedback on winter driving ? Will it be a death trap ?

I will obviously be putting a set of winter rims and tires on it.

You should be fine for all except the deepest snow as long as you have winter tires on them. Deepest snow?!...I guess that means enough snow that the whole town/city gets shut down and you will know it since no one is going anywhere other than those folks with snowmobiles.

I'm putting my winter set-up on on Tuesday . We can get snow that sticks around here any time between Halloween and Christmas. I'll let the board/you know how it goes.

I'm really not worried about the E63 with proper snow tires. I am worried about those drivers without the right tires or skills. If I'm not comfortable with how it feels early this winter I'll leave it at home on the bad days.

By the way,with 12,000.00 km on it I'm loving this car: enjoy.
