Looks great -- especially with the brakes 
I also run the 128 19s in winter with 15mm spacers on the rear and used the same set-up on my previous 525d and 530d. However, this year I also added 5mm spacers up front. I think it fits better with the rears being on 15mm spacers and there is no issue with rubbing.
Only issue is that 275 wide rears and 367hp are not proving to be the best set up with the snow at the moment
If you bought your wheels from Rsyed, I'm guessing you have 245s all round?

Much better than the summer set up but even with my 260hp the car is still a handful!

Ahh, so you're also sliding around town at the moment
When I lived in Frankfurt, I used to drive to the Gouda every week on business, which is why I went for the 19s in winter; the snow at the moment is an exception. The rest of the winter season you get to drive round on your 19s with ease and the car still looks great 
I just looked at the pictures again and the colour of your car makes a lot more sense than mine does at this time of year
