Probably not what you wanted to hear, but if it were me, I'd get a winter tire/wheel package. Good news is that you'll have the best of both worlds, and the performance tires will last longer.

This is 100% right. You'd be a danger to yourself and others on those tires in temperatures below 40 degrees and/or traveling through any type of frozen precipitation.
You can get a good set of 19" wheels with Pirelli Sottozero II RFTs from tire rack for ~$2500. Or you could go for the BMW 18" set for ~$2700. A lot of folks scoff at the expense, but you'll be reducing the amount of wear you put on a $500 tire (your 20" P-Zero) and sparring your aluminum 20" rim winter pot holes.
I went with the staggered 19" with P-Zeros (like yours) on my '15 X3 and just ordered my winter set up!
Good luck.
