I would say Michelin PA4 is the better choice, given your parameters

Bridgestone Blizzak LM32
Michelin Pilot PA4 - used recently - pretty good traction but wears fast due to soft compound. No issue up to about 15cm of snow
Pirelli W240 Sottozero II 96V XL
Dunlop Wintersport 3D 96V XL - good traction overall. 4D is out this year and improvement over 3D
Pirelli W240 Sottozero II 92H RFT XL

I had the Dunlops for my 135i a few years back and they were fine but i appreciate this is a different car. I know this is tough to answer but what would you guys hedge on as an overall good performance tire? (Let's say primarily for dry/wet roads and the occasional bad snow day).
