I would actually never put any of these tires on a Z4, personally. I would stop at the Pilot Alpin / "performance winter" type of tire. Any of the tires from the X-Ice's studless category will move a Z4 up to its ground clearance.

Why put performance tires if safety is the priority? My understanding is "performance winter" tires will offer less braking and less traction in winter snowy/ice conditions, they sacrifice that so you can drive and have a more sporty feeling handling right? But why would you want to drive sporty in those conditions.
As for ground clearance I drive my car even though there is snow above bottom of my bumper, I act like a snowplow lol on some mornings when the plow didn't have time to pass. A bit of snow won't stop us Canadians
