X5M winter tire setup

Gentlemen,

I'm looking to keep my OEM 20" wheels on the car for the winter, but obviously want to put some dedicated winter tires. I'm thinking of running 275/40R20 all around on the factory wheels. I called a local dealership here and they said that last year they offered 19" style 298 wheels with some continental tire, However I prefer to stick with the 20s, mainly because I don't want to dish out ~4600CAD for roughly 3 months of winter driving. Any recommendations on tire brands and specific sizes that will not screw with the AWD system? I've used Blizzak LM60 before on a different car and loved them, but they don't offer the potential sizes I would need. All suggestions welcome.

PS: I know it's way too early to look for winters, but I always leave it to the last minute and so I want to be prepared this year.

Thanks
