I spent last winter driving a RWD M235i on a square set of 17" Blizzak LM-32 tires and could not have been happier. I picked a winter tire that would provide better dry road performance instead of maximum snow traction because I rarely need to drive if it's snowing out, but I did get caught out in a few storms, and the Blizzaks were very sure footed. Between the dedicated winter tires and the impressive traction control system in the BMW, I felt confident driving through adverse weather questions, particularly when driving through the mountains, which can be treacherous on the wrong tires.
I think you could get by with good all-season tires if you try to avoid driving during bad weather and driving intelligently when you are out on bad roads, but a dedicated winter tire will be the safer choice.
