My choice would be Blizzaks and VMR CSL wheels.

BMW recommends 8X18 ET:20 all around (part #36112283905). The tirerack's wheels in their winter package are exact on specs and cheap too. I would go with these if I needed a winter setup. OEM wheels are very expensive. Send ben@tirerack a PM and he will have more details on staggered vs square.
