I drove my 240D in the city last winter, every day (weekday, at least). I would try and clean it out on the highway once a week or so. Get it up to temp, and then give it a good 0-60 run, topping the gears. Mine blows a cloud out the first time i do this in a while.

The other problem I did run into was the battery had a hard time getting a good charge, glowing +1min every start in the cold and then running 10 minutes or whatever. Keep a charger on it when you can. Block heater would help too, I'm gettin me one o' those for this winter. Maybe even a battery heater if you are in a colder climate.
