No I don't. That 12 degree difference is not going to suffice to get the compound sticky. I am certain there are others in forum that are much more knowledgeable than I but I am willing to bet there is not much you can do to combat cold road and tire temps Vs. the HP & torque of this monster. I believe it's all in the compound in the tire, but still even with snows your just gonna roast them fast IMO. If I was you I would get a 4x4 more snowy days and when you drive your M, just respect it. There will be plenty of time May to Sept to drive the car like it was meant to be driven. I hope this helps.
