You also need to make sure TPMS are compatible. And you obviously need to select the right tire sizes for the rims. BMW dealer or a pro shop will do the hard work of matching everything for you, however; at an "appropriate" cost premium.
I ordered my winter rim/tire from the dealer. part of the overall deal. Part number 36112462592
735 Ferric Grey Winter Wheel/Tire
If BMW says those will fit over you M Sport brakes, looks like a great choice. But BMW Canada has been insisting for a while (incorrectly) that 19" rims don't fit over M Sport brakes. I would dig a little deeper with them to make sure.
