It's really got me perplexed, I can save about $2000 buying used winter tires+wheels which means I can get a tune!

You were misinformed. The hubs on the e71 x6 and x6m are exactly the same. 72.56 mm in the rear and 74 mm in the front... I ordered wheels and they sent me x5 fitment (72.56 all around). I had to get the fronts bored to 74 mm. You can only install hub rings if you were trying to fit wheels with larger hub (eg. going from 74 to 72.56 mm). Otherwise you need to bore the hub larger going from 72.56 to 74 mm.
