The splines that are at risk are on the output shaft of the transfer case, where the front driveshaft connects.
If you changed one tire and then had repeat DSC problems, then yes, you would need to change all of them. If you didn't have DSC warning lights, then you could try it out, and see if the front driveshaft gave any problems.
This isn't anything to do with BMW, it is with all AWD/4WD vehicles with different tire circumferences, and the problems just show up in different failure modes.
