That's my understanding as well. As long as all 4 tires/tyres are the same overall diameter there shouldn't be a problem with iDrive or the transfer case. I've been running slightly oversized tyres (~ 2% oversize) since new in 2011 without any issues.

I think the only problem with running a "square" setup with 275/40/19 up front as well is potentially tyre rub when turning because of the increased width of the front tyres.
