(this bmw rwd stucks big time in the snow) got stuck a couple of time but manage to get out. well toward the end when i was about to exit off the grand central parkway to the cross island i got stuck right on the exit ramp. tried to get out of all that snow that was there but i just keep sliding toward the guard rail, put on my hazers and waited from my pops to come and pull me out with his truck. then a half an hour later some suv decided to drive like he the king of the road and tried to go over all the snow and slide to me and side swipe driver side of the car

WOW! People just have too much confidence in SUVs and forget that they are still the ones driving the thing, it still is REALLY slippery out there and that their SUVs are not really impervious to snow - just a little better, that's about it. Sorry to hear that you have to suffer because of some dumba$$ who doesn't know what he/she is doing. Hopefully, you'll get your baby to better-than-new now, hang in there 
Happy Holidays!

Sorry to hear that. That really sucks. Snow sucks. SUVs suck. Rude, arrogant people who drive in the snow impervious to the dangers suck. Kings of the roads suck. RWDs suck. Exit ramps suck. Getting stuck on the highway sucks.
Happy Holidays to all and peace on earth.....

This is why I will never drive during or after the snow storm until the roads have been cleared regardless if I have awd or not.. since "others" can still lose control and hit you.
Last year, I was driving to work the following morning after the snow storm and this lady in a late model acura lost control taking a turn and spun around into my lane and came very close to hitting me. After that experience I will just not drive in the snow, too many idiots in this word.

I will post up some pic tomorrow of the carYou said the "bmw rwd 'stucks' big time in the snow"... Assuming you meant "sucks", it sounds like you need a set (4) of dedicated snow tires. You'll be surprised/amazed at the difference they make.
(Now if you meant "sticks" instead of "sucks", then all is well.
