I've run the DWS and DWS 06 and never found them sufficient for what I'd want in snowy conditions. They're ok but I like the security of real winters though I run performance winters and not full winters (like a Blizzak or X-Ice). I'll see how these hold up late into the year though, maybe there's a chance to sell my winters out of this.

It's good enough to not get stuck but wasn't confidence inspiring when trying to stop on Vancouver snow(that wet heavy slushy stuff).

I got the 20x9.5+40 model. 23.5lbs (at least that's how they advertise it).

I'm really happy with how they turned out - the 9.5" width really fills the wheel wells nicely (I'm also lowered) - was aiming for the muscular look of a BMW sedan. Here's a shot from another angle with slightly better lighting (still shitty cloudy weather): 
BTW: My wife will probably curb the wheels in a few months. She's quite "talented" when it comes to driving.

^ Now it all makes sense why it looks so good, cause you are lowered! How much are you lowered by? Maybe I should lower my X3 as well  | |

Maybe I should lower my X3 as well | I'm on Eibach Pro-kit springs which are 1.5"/1.2" lower than stock. Some SUVs look great lowered - the Q5 is awesome, looks like a jumbo hot hatch when lowered.
The ride quality is still pretty decent - it's a little short on suspension travel when going over choppy speed bumps and larger bumps but otherwise adds a nice crispness to things. Roll stiffness does get a bit exaggerated - feels like the roll bars have gotten a lot stiffer now, maybe it needs shorter links to compensate.

I was wondering if the owner of that wagon would be somewhere on here or e90post. They're square 260m, 18x9.5 et23 on 255/35/18, m3 control arms + Dinan camber plates on the front. Alignment is within spec in case someone from VPD is reading this.

BMWs do both sides by default. My E90 does the same. All it is is removing the tabs preventing the “blank” switch underneath front fogs from being depressed. Once the switch is modded both side rear fogs just work.

Typically people use some Lego pieces in the shape of a T to make the toggle work. I did this with mine too but ended up just buying the euro light switch afterwards which includes the button with graphic.
Edit* I see Trevor already answered this haha
