2 trips to Morzine last winter in my 340i . Winter tyres work.
Practice putting your chains on , nothing worse than kneeling on the road in the snow at night trying work out how they go on...
Snow socks on the front if you want to be double safe but watch out they shred quickly on any bit of tarmac.
In reality only needed chains once in all the years I have driven and that was to get to Ste Foy after a big dump.
A lot depends on where you going , eg Morzine is low and the roads will nearly always be clear unless you are arriving v.late at night in a storm , then a small risk the snow ploughs haven’t been out. On the other hand the road up to Avoriaz when it’s dumping can be completely different.

We're going to les menuires - I've been to 3 valleys loads but always stayed in Meribel or Val Thorens. Any idea what the road there is like?

Never used them, but aren't snow socks meant to go on the driven wheels? So it depends on rwd/fwd,etc.

Anyone here got any experience with driving rwd BMWs on snow/Ice? There seems to be a lot of opinion about it on the internet but little consensus.
Context: I'm going skiing at Christmas and considering driving my 118 to the Alps. I'll have chains and maybe snow socks obviously.
