Get the 545i, the M35x or M35 will disappoint you compared to the 545i!

I also have an Infiniti G35 though mine is the coupe. I've not yet driven the 5er in snow as we've not really got that much this year, so far.
I think the 5er will be fine in the snow. I've had it out in bad weather and it handles that fine. Wish I could help you more with the snow, all I can add is the 5er is faster, handles better, is more comfortable and is right close on MPG (20.0 for the G and 19.2 for the 545i).

[/quote]If I get a chance to drive the 5er in the snow before you take delivery, I'll try to drag this back up and let you know what I think. BTW, I've also got the all seasons Contis.
It's actually supposed to snow for the evening commute today but I'm in the coupe today.
