Bottom line: even with the all seasons the car was a beast in the snow. Never once did I slide or have any loss of control.
The xDrive puts a lot of its competitors to shame (specifically my previous car, an Infiniti G35x). I'm sure Audi's Quattro stacks up favorably in terms of AWD, but it cant really touch the Bimmer in other areas.
As far as sport/summer tires, I plan on getting a set of summer wheels and tires soon and just going back to the all seasons for next winter.

Thanks, that's the response I was looking for, whether I need winter tires in addition to the 17 inch all-season in snow country
