Recommended tire pressure for winter tires?

It it safe to assume the tire pressure recommendations for the stock OEM RFTs apply to winters as well?

I'm running 225 40 R18s Dunlop M3s recommended by Gill.

The sticker on the door-well says 33/36. Based on that i'm going with 34 all around.

While I understand that you don't have staggered winter sizes, is there a reason not to keep the front-rear differential BMW recommends? On my E46, recommended pressure is 29/32 and I find that 32/35 works great for my M3s.
