Don't slam it or you'll bottom out in deeper snow. Power mods will do absolute shit for winter driving. Undercoating to keep the rust away is recommended.

Source: three winter seasons with F80 and a lot more with other RWD BMWs. Worst part is stopping uphill and trying to get going again. You'll need to adjust your driving quite a bit coming from AWD, but it's very much doable.
I know with Bootmod3 I can change maps on the fly. As far as suspension, I'm a big coilover guy so I will just raise them in the snow. Undercoating is a great recommendation I should see how much that usually runs.
