I did 205/55/R16 on my 128i with the Continental Extreme Winter Contact and they are super squishy! I even see the TC flash when I get on the throttle in 5th or 6th gear on the highway which is a bit shocking. Cornering is horrid, sidewalls roll over very easily. Honestly, it's a bit ridiculous and I can imagine in a 135i the TC issues when accelerating are even worse. Personally, I did not expect them to be this way but I've never been on a full on winter tire. With all that being said, snow/ice performance is just amazing and I am very impressed.
Overall, I can deal with them on the dry but I won't be getting tires that narrow again. I'll most likely step up to a much wider 17" performance winter tire because the highway maneuverability is just dangerous with these. Oh well, live and learn! lol
