They are all AWD so they will all kick *** in the snow. I just switched to some cheap <$100 all season tires and my car was a snowmobile in the snow. Had a hell of a time tearing it up in the snow.

I will actually be saving $ going to the Evo which is nice. I do want to wait on an 04 now though since the leftover 03's seem to be all in less desirable (to me) colors.
I'm a little late on this thread but I thought I'd chime in. I traded in my 99 M3 for an 03 Tarmac Black EVO a couple weeks ago and I haven't looked back! The ride's a little stiffer but definitely more fun to drive than the M3. Don't get me wrong, I loved that car, but this one's a whole 'nother animal.

17,600 and going strong! Daily commute is 50 miles round trip. It's a good, fun commute along a curvy, hilly road, so I drive it hard almost every day. Tires don't last very long, and aren't cheap. The stock advans grip like there's no tomorrow! Overall:

I have 27,000 miles on mine, no mods. I have had it for 14 months, just replaced the front rotors and pads. Other than a mysterious clunk from the front end I love this car.... puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it.
