Thanks for all the responses I am going to keep looking on the boards until next week and if nothing turns up will get the Blizzaks.

Ice is hard to deal with, true. But consider installing a studded snow tire. You'll get significantly improved traction and braking under icy conditions. Noisy as hell though. Dunno if you can "stud" the Blizzak.
Check out the Blizzak LM-60, which their site recommends for the Z4M Coupe:

One trick we Canucks use some times to get better traction is to put weight over the back wheels of a rear wheel drive vehicle. A couple of sand bags in the back over the axles can be the difference between getting stuck and getting home to enjoy a hot cup while watching the snow fall.
