You might check with ECS Tuning, I believe they sell kits. I'm sure there are others, but I usually use ECS. Go to ECSTuning.com and search.

 Typically I’ve seen folks convert to wheel studs for ease of swapping to slicks when going for an auto-cross or track day, and swap back for the drive home. But i guess it’d also make it easier to swap wheels summer/winter...

Oof. Just hold the wheel with your legs and thread a bolt in. Or, if you have the car on a lift its an excellent quarantine workout. For me, it's just not worth the trouble of swapping to lug studs on my fleet of 5 bimmers.
That being said, pretty much and lug conversion kit for bimmer will work as long as the wheel hub bore is the correct size.
