I live in Buffalo, NY and we usually end up with tons of lake effect snow. For 2 years now I have been the proud owner of a '88 745 and have not had any problems in the snow yet. I dont have positraction/locking diff. or 4 studded snows. I use simply 2 snow tyres in the rear and leave it at that. It is a given that you will have some wheelspin, theres no way around it. In my opinion the 745 is a very predictable car, moreso than my parents 854 and 855. Thats right, I prefer RWD even in the winter. Basically, it comes down to driver skill/experience and knowing your car.
Peace
Aaron
