I agree with the RWD + snow tires sentiment; unfortunately (at least here in NorCal), when we get snow in the mountains, chain control often REQUIRES AWD + "snow" tires (all seasons typically good enough)... else you need chains on a RWD car, no matter how capable the tires.
Now, you can probably just show the chain control guy 4 fingers and hit the throttle, I doubt they'd chase you down, and they'll probably believe that you have an xi, but it's just a thought. Whereas if you've got the xi and AWD, you can get by on all seasons (though I'd recommend separate summer tires for a car like the 335, and snow tires either way for ski trips). If you're planning on drag racing it, the AWD is probably a mistake. You're just going to break something really expensive. I'd prefer to have my tires break loose on a launch, rather than have my diff break loose. |

I really think some all season + AWD would get you through the mountain in Tahoe. The snow here is no where close to what the east gets. I know that people with N54 with xdrive have been running 11s without any problem. If you want to run 11s on the 335 RWD, you will most likely need DR. |

Interesting, first time I've seen it like that. I know on the configurator when you add DHP it removes the M Sport suspension, and my dealer told me that it took it back to regular ride height. Somebody was wrong. lol Although, I don't know how the DHP could replicate the ride of the luxury with lower springs, but then I'm no tech.
