Nothing yet. However, think of it this way:
If they did come out with 22" winters, you'd pay someone twice a year to take them off/on the same set of rims. I've done that, if it's a trusted shop it's fine. But there is a little wear on the rim and especially the tire itself going through that process time and again.
If you go that path you'll probably pay call it 1600-1800 bucks for a set of 22" winter tires only.
OR
You could buy a rim and tire package from BMW. A dedicated set of winters with tires. If x5 are any indication, a 20" variant of this might cost about 3900-4000. So 2k more. It's not a pittance but it's not a ton. I'd rather do this than say get the crystal selector and the LED moonroof.
Putting these on/and off every winter/spring should cost a shade less than option A. And it will give you better traction. A square set up with a less fat footprint is better for winter.
