I had 2 E70 X5s before. You really don't need true winter tires or wheel setup. Contis DWS are more than enough for the job on an AWD vehicle. I want a set of OEM 20s just to run DWS staggered.

yes - 21'' isn't the problem - there the staggered ones are available (285/35/21 & 325/30/21)

I was also looking for staggered 20'' - there the situation is different:
1) the standard summer OEM 20'' are 10Jx20 at the front and
11.5Jx20 at the rear equipped with 285/40/20 & 325/35/20
2) the OEM winter tire set is using 10Jx20 at the front (so obviously the same as summer) but
10.5Jx20 at the rear and is equipped with 285/40/20 on all 4
3) for F16 BMW offers staggered ones (10J & 11J - 275/40/20 & 315/35/20) - but as we know the rims don't fit on our F86s and these tire sizes are also not approved by BMW for F86
4) so I checked to order the 1) summer OEM 20'' and equip it with 285/40/20 front and 325/35/20 rear - but the problem is that there are no winter tires available in 325/35/20
see Tire Rack: just 1 summer tire:

also my dealer confirmed that there is no winter tire available in this size
conclusion: 285/40/20 on all 4 or OEM summer with 285/35/21 & 325/30/21
