My three week old X3 was bought mainly because I needed AWD for frequent winter driving on secondary and semi-ploughed tertiary roads 200 kms north of Toronto (Canada).
So it was a no brainer to also purchase snow tires. For simplicity I also purchased a second set of rims. I plan to store the 4 wheels in a large garden shed I have.
I plan to use the summer tires 8 months a year and the winter tires 4 months a year. Over the life of the car I'll have to replace the summer tires roughly twice as often as the winter tires.
