WORLD OF DIFFERENCE on accel, cornering and braking! While not a deep snow car, it was totally usable on our typical 2-6" CO front range storms. Decent on the cold but dry (90% of CO winter living) and good in slop and slush.

I am 2 weeks away from taking delivery of an '11 e90 and am mounting some 19" Blizzak's LM60's on my ZCP's...a great excuse to buy a full forged summer set up with some great summer rubber and put them on in April/May.
I'd really like to hear your experience with the ZCP and Blizzaks. Maybe I'll bug you around the new year for some feedback if you don't mind.

I just hate to put some cheap wheels on a $65k car and a second set of BMW OEM wheels are probably mega monies.

Are you having BMW mount the Blizzaks on delivery day? If so, they doing it for free?
