I also would be interested in hearing about snow tires as I have just picked up a 2009 M3 Sedan and will be winter driving it on all but the worst days. I am in Kelowna so the conditions are not quite so severe as Calgary.

I have the 19" 220M wheels for summer tires, and am buying the 18" 219M wheels for the winters. I know 17" won't work. The BMW shop is saying likely go 235 wide, maybe 245, but not going to stagger (as the summers are). I was using Dunlop WinterSportM3s on my 535xi and was very pleased with them. Considering Blizzaks or Hankooks for the M3.

Any suggestions??
