In the winter I drive a 2004 civic with snow tires. Well i was feeling the wagon bug and bought a 2006 awd bmw530xi wagon. After i got it home I'm thinking its much to nice for me to use as proper wagon so i asked my folks if they wanted to swap. So my question is, how would a E300 with snow tires compare to the civic with snow tires. I can casually drive down 6" deep streets with ease, will the E300 be similar?

My 96E300D was terrible in the snow. Rear wheel drive, a slight incline, and the rear end would almost fishtail with the slightest touch of the accelerator. On level ground you still have to be careful when accelerating.
