Minnesota here. Have only had my xdrive M for two weeks but had some blizzard conditions, drifts, slush and snow covered roads all in two weeks. I have winter wheels with Michelin Alpin 5s. I was worried about snow handling given the width of the tires, but it has been surprisingly good. I also have a xdrive 335 with performance snow tires and it's a bit better in the snow due to narrower tires. So you will lose a little in snow performance vs the 340 with snow tires but the m with snow tires remains very strong. It's a great car, so if money is not an issue, get the m. Just don't go with all seasons bc that is just bad for all seasons.
