I don't think AWD is as necessary as many think for mountain trips.
It doesn't meet your parameters due to RWD but an e90 m3 is a pretty awesome way to enjoy a v8.

hmm i usually really like the looks of wagons but the CTS-V looks too SUV-like stock or modified...may be it's the shorter wheel base or just the angle of the photos...needs to be more hearse-like
2016 Lexus IS is not a bad choice as it has AWD, not sure about how "sporty" it is though. The Infiniti Q50 ain't bad of a choice either. Or if you're willing to dish out a few thousand more, Range Rover Evoque can bring you up those mountains nicely :^)
ugh i get to be devil's advocate... i've driven two out of the three listed above. the IS is not sporty in 2wd so i do not have high expectations for the awd version. the q50 feels disconnected, especially that weird electronic steering. i've never been in a evoque, but the reviews say it's more eye candy than anything else

doesnt the EVO final edition come without the recaros?
The EVO final edition in Canada does come with the recaros. The question is if OP doesn't mind driving manual on the snow since the final edition is based on the GSR model.
I own a 15 Q50 and i feel a lot of people have a misunderstanding about this car. The DAS steering is only if you get the tech package. I drove a Q50 with nav+tech and one with just nav and it's completely different.
I ended up picking up the one with just nav, i was upgrading from a g37 and the steering feel without the tech package feel ALMOST the same as the g37.
Without the tech package you lose a lot of the convenience stuff, memory seats...,lane change assist, blind spot warning and a few different notification options on the gauge.
I paid cash and all in to drive off the lot it was only 39-38k. For what i'm getting i was pretty happy. I did test drive a lot of cars in the high 20s and mid 30s price range just to see if i was missing anything by going back to infiniti, but in the end i was happy i did.
I live in Edmonton so i'm not sure if it makes a difference, but talking to lexus and bmw dealers the cheapest is250 was almost 44k and a bmw 328i was touching 50k.
