I had RFT in winter time and I would not say the ride changed compared to other RFT in summer since the tire is designed for cold weather. I am getting the RFT's because i really don't want to be getting out of the car to change the tire in the cold if I do get a flat.
I had the Pirelli's Scorpion Snow and Ice on my E53 and those things were awesome and i drove them for 3 winters using only about 50% of the tread life on them.

I bought a set of the 20" #214 (off a X6) for my X5M for winter. Tirerack recommends 275/40/20 all around (even on the 11" rear rim). Either Blizzak or Alpines. Both options are about $210/tire.

Temperature has been dropping below 35F lately, and yesterday I put on my 18" 'winter' set - 255/55 R18 Bridgestones on OEM BMW 18" wheel (the one which comes by-default on X5)... I put 30mm spacers in the rear, no spacers in front. Looks tolerable, much softer ride.
The spacers have their own lugs - eg mount spacer on the hub with its own bolts, then mount wheel to the spacer. They have hub centric design, look very solid. My bro had same setup last winter, no issues with load etc, so hopefully they would hold. I first installed them without spacers... Rear wheels got "lost", it looked ugly (VERY VERY ugly, I usually dont care about visuals, and was debating spacers or no spacers, but this bad look was just too much....). Pic below.

you are OK as long as you have a sensor in terms computer throwing error codes. HOWEVER, just remember should you get a flat, pull over and change the tire, as warning will tell you to continue driving
