Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 are amazing winter tires. Try those.

I always check out the Tirerack reviews to pick out tires, especially Read All Reviews for Your Vehicle.

I used Michelin A/S 3+ on my M235i.

I'm on Conti Winters and love them, but next time I'm going to try those Nokians so I'd start there. The improvement in going to a true winter tire cannot be overstated, brand variations are probably quite modest between the champs (Michelin, Continental, and Nokkian).

I put Nokia’s Hakkapelita Rs on dedicated winter wheels, minus 1 sized so that they’re a little narrower. Hard to find the tires, I got mine from M&L in Nashua.

IMHO, based on your location, I would NOT even consider all season tires. Maybe if you had x-drive, but otherwise a good dedicated summer and winter tire is best combination. As recommended, going with a more narrow winter tire than OEM sizing would benefit in the winter driving conditions. Recommend NOT driving summer tires in any temperatures lower than 34 F degrees. Good luck with your decision. biz
