Of course you will STILL have to be an good driver, alert, tuned in. But forget the snows UNLESS you:
1. Live in the mountains with near daily snowfalls.
2. Work at a ski area and commute five times a week.
3. Need the best always and no expense is too much ever.
4. Tend to worry about worst case scenarios regarding danger to your loved ones.

I am so sorry to take exception to your reasoning for NOT fitting winter tyres to an X3 (or any other vehicle) unless one complies with any of your serials 1 - 4.
The well proven facts are that all vehicles operating in countries with an ambient temperature below 7 degrees C, benefit from the implementation of Winter Tyres.
