For those who haven't been driving on snow yet, I'm pleased to report that both the car and standard tyres have coped really quite well.
I hadn't got round to ordering the spare alloys with winter tyres, as it's been so mild.
Had a 45 mile journey home from North Yorkshire last night. 3" snow on the M1, which was causing BMW 5 series to fish tale up inclines. We drove happily on in blizzard conditions. By the time we parked up there was 4-5" snow, and the car proved to be very predictable. With a gentle right foot, with or without the 4 wheel lock, it proved hard to break traction without deliberately provoking it.
I have had a lot of experience driving in snow, and as usual watched others impatience and stupidity cause problems last night.
