Having driven many a tail-happy BMW, I find the handling of the W124 completely benign in the snow. The break away of the rear is predictable and easily moderated with throttle input, even in our diesel tankers. Studded snows should make it even more sure footed.

I second the use of 50 - 100 lbs. in the trunk - the deep pockets on either side of the trunk lend themselves perfectly towards storing bags of cement and even out the weight distribution over each wheel.

Also, keep a shovel in trunk just in case. I only had to use it once last winter after being plowed in on the street.
