I am thinking of Hakka 5 or Hakka 7 spike tyres (yes, spikes are legal in Russia, at least they are not banned yet), but a bit anxious about reardrive after 9 years of front-drive cars.

Any feedback regarding sDrive in heavy winter conditions is appreciated.

AND HAVE A NICE 20X11
Hi BC, Welcome on this forum, a mine of good info on the X1

Quick answer to your question, Get winter tyres before you try anything serious in snow.
