I'm going with the 255 blizzaks but I'd really prefer 245.

When I signed up, I was able to choose Michelin PA4s. Is that no longer available?

Uhm, no. Just pick Performance Winter tires and you can get the Michelins. At least they still appear in the drop down list.

Yeah wow no I'm an idiot. I went with Blizzak 245/45. I much prefer WS over LM but my M2 won't see much deep snow action so it works out.

On the list for anthracite 19x9. Great prices.

All that said I can't emphasize enough how bad Michelin winter tires are. I've had em all. Michelin x-ice, Dunlop winter sport, Nokian Hakkas, Pirelli Sottozeros, Blizzak WS/LM. The best performer of the bunch all round is Blizzak WS with Nokians being better in deeper snow.

Is it also possible to ONLY buy the rims? Because my lease contract also includes winter tires and I need to buy the tires through the tire dealer network of the leasing company?

I see most pick the 18x9.0" ET31 size. My local tire dealer told me those rim are not good for the M2. Did they say this just because they can't deliver the Apex rims or could there be another reason?
