Also have PA4s (225/40) on the stock wheels (for some reason mine are a 7.5 square setup? so they fit fine).
They've been great so far, no real road noise and after a season they look brand new. They drive great in the dry, can't even tell it's a Winter tire. The few snow days I've had have been solid too, no unwanted sliding and confidence inspiring.
I had the XI3 on my 128i and I found them to be pretty poor in the wet and I feel like during the Winter I drive more in the wet than in the snow. Couple of time when the tires were colder I couldn't get ANY traction on an on-ramp, think baby deer on ice. They were a bit older so not sure if that was more the issue.
