Anyone know if you can order the 755M 22" wheels on a custom order with all seasons?

Unfortunately no, BMW says you will take high performance summer 22's and like it.

Bmw reps at the LA auto show debut in nov 2018 said there were no all seasons for the 22 at that time and they felt 22" take rate in the north East would be low.

Proportionally speaking the 22" look the best however I think I agree with BMW... I don't think most will go for that option on this vehicle.

Tirerack shows these fit the X7 x50i with M brakes 22" wheels so I assume they would fit the m50i. So these would work with the 22" wheels for all season tires and/or for cold weather driving?

But the rear is 315/35/22.....


You could mount those 275s on all 4 corners....but if you are getting a 50i or m50i, you'll have less contact patch than the 285s on the 21s.

So with my m50i you're telling me it'll work, but not ideal? Will it look stupid?

This member did it. Probably pretty thin on the rears.

That may make the tire more susceptible to bubbles in the sidewall from the stretch.

For snow and ice it will be fine. Rest of the time you will want more tire.

Would these all season tires fit the X7 m50i 22" front and rear wheels:

Rear: Pirelli P Zero A/S 315 /30 R22 107W XL BSW BE

Front: Pirelli P Zero A/S 275 /35 R22 104W XL BSW BE

The aspect ratio is a little less and the load index is a little less than the OEM tires on both front and rear. Anyone who understands this stuff know if these would still be okay?

Correct. A more narrow tire will work better as a snow & ice tire because it will cut through snow like an ice skate where a wider tire would act like a ski or snowboard and be on top of the snow.

I have been using dedicated 19’ snow rims and tires on my last three X6s. The cars came with staggered summers with 20 and 21 rims. I don’t think you will really notice a huge difference and as other here have said the smaller diameter tire is recommended for snow. FWIW, I think the 19 winters look just fine on my car.
