I think that the Turbo wants more grip. Also, cold traction isn’t really a factor in SD.

On my 4th set of conti Etx DW”s. No help here but I do love them.

I liked the DW's on a 335xi, but they are a gentler tire and don't really compete with the PSS for feel and grip. Soft sidewalls, in my experience as in some Conti tires. They are decent in the wet.

It's not just the dates. Even with 6/32nds depth, my PS2's turned to hard plastic only 3 years from production (2 years on the car) in 16k miles of street driving.

I haven't seen the M3 in like 3 months - guess I should head over this weekend to check it out and will look at the tires while I'm there.

Ditto. Replaced the PSS on my 2 with the A/S 3+ and quite prefer them.
