Of course BMW says they don't support snowchains on anything but their 19" wheels.
Has anyone found a workable solutions - perhaps using spider chains or other?
Would be good to understand how others have solved this.

Here is some language from the BMW Owners Manual for the G05 about snow chains:
Fine-link snow chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is available from a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Use
Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equipped with the tires of the following size:
255/55 R18.
265/50 R19.
275/45 R20.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM after mounting snow chains, as doing so may result in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, briefly activate Dynamic Traction Control DTC to optimize the forward momentum.
Maximum speed with snow chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when using snow chains.
