i have the LM22s (are they that different from the 25s?) and even with the led sled, they work really well. i only had one nasty snow storm (last year, that one day of really wet snowfall?) that i had to turn off all traction control and DSC to cut through the snow. seems to me that you can't really lose, though, with either tire you're considering.
I have LM22's on the 330i and they did get me through a bad winter storm or two. The WS-50's I had on my old 190E had even more grip on shitty conditions, but they just felt like playdoh on dry roads.

I can rarely find LM-22's anymore. I guess LM-25's have replaced them.
