Driving an M4 in the winter

[Smatty]

Tomorrow I put down the deposit on an M4 Cab (pics to follow) that is dealer stock, so I will have the car within a week.

My only concern is driving such a beast in the winter - I will be putting winter tyres on each corner, and the car will be my daily vehicle for commuting, running the kids about, that kind of thing.

Does anyone have any experiences using the M4 as a daily car during a british winter - did you survive, was the experience hairy or relatively normal and boring.

Cheers folks

I was going to put 19's on the car, rather than buying an OEM set with alloys - the salesman gave me a tip on pulling away, which was to feather (light touch) the accelerator which kicks in a 2 to 4mph speed - helped a lot as this is the first powerful car i've had.

Thanks for the updates - didn't intend for this to be a debate on the pros and cons of winters but appreciate the feedback. I will definitely put winters on for the additional safety they offer.

Very interesting the post from the M4 driver who suggests the car is undriveable and will convert to a 4x4 next. Any other experiences?
