A collegue here at work has a '97 328is with TC and winter Blizzaks, and has no trouble with snow/ice traction. With the TC off, he says he can do donuts in the snow with just a tickle of the throttle, but with it on, the tires don't even spin. My SET on the other hand, will spin it's Artic Alpins if I just glare at the throttle. It doesn't take much of an incline to make starting from a stop an exercise in futility, even engaging the clutch just off idle.
BTW, most BMW's have pretty much a 50/50 weight distribution, whereas my SET is more like 60/40 or 65/35. A 3400lb 3-series will have ~1700 lbs on it's drive wheels, a 3100 lb 900 will have ~1850-2000 on it's drive wheels.
