Does anyone in the UK switch to winters and, if so, what wheels / tyres do you use? Is it sensible to swap to a second set of 19" or go for the standard 18" rims, or aftermarket, cheaper rims?

I use my M3 every day but have really struggled some days this year.

So much for global warming.

I have a set of 18'' Winter tyres which I used on my 335d. They made a huge difference in confidence and safety.

Problem is, now I have the M3, the old rims (OEM e92) are not suitable without spacers, so I need to find some 18'' wheels to transfer the tyres to.
