Car already has (nearly) 50-50 weight distribution, you felt like you needed the weight back there? I wasn't planning on carrying weight all winter. I'm not in the great white north, but I get lake effect snow so we definitely can get dumped on at times... We've had 20-30cm in a day before.
I'm planning on going for a square winter setup though, with narrower-than-suggested wheels in the rear (which should be beneficial for snow and ice traction). I'm not quite sure why BMW specs wider rear tires (keeps the stagger) for winter - it's the opposite of what you want. I'm looking at going down to an 18x8 or 18x8.5 (if I can find them) all around with 225/45R18 tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2) that I already have from my Audi.
