I put Pacemark Snowtrakkers on my '99 323i and have had great performance with them. Awesome deep snow grip, good wet grip not that noisy (I keep radio loud!) crappy on ice but what isn't. Those tires were BEEFY when I put them on and like the Blizzaks I Had before the sipes were movable but of harder compound. FYI, my Blizzaks lasted 3yrs, really great snow tires but too expensive for me. The Pacemarks have lasted 5 years and would be fine this year but I bought studs for my '86 and plan on driving that instead. Bonus, Snowtrakkers I bought were studdable depending on your area, although Pittsburgh isn't bad I work at funny hours and roads can be questionable. My cost for 195/65/15 size was $38 not incl mount and balance ( dealer cost). I think they're like $50 each now for list.
