Rwd+6mt would be my ticket. I've lived in NH, MA, NY, CT and have been through more blizzards in Canada than I can count, all in an M car with winter tires.

For snows I've always used a set of dedicated tires and wheels so they are more narrow than stock.
Within a few months of release, Bimmerworld, Apex and other companies will release compatible wheels for the G8X
Personally I like smaller diameter tires for winter so there's more sidewall to absorb the crazy potholes we get in winter.

Remember inside the realm of 'winter tires' you have high performance ones like the PA4 or Alpin5 and then a different category of full winter tires like the xice series.

The xice ones are significantly stickier than the high performance ones

The G80 likely has the new center bore 66.6 or whatever it is in the G series BMWs
