yes for taking off but there is some draw backs. with more weight in the rear your upsetting the 50/50 balance and could cause the rear to slide sideways easier on turns. With good snows you should be good to go, concider ameraican old rear wheel drive cars were more along the lines of 70/30 with the brunt of the weight in the front. I was vary vary impressed in the snow with the bimmer compared to the other stuff I was used to.
