But today i saw a 530e with M sport brakes, and it had 17" winters.

Looked like the 17" style 618.
It had VERY little clearance, and I'd be afraid that tiny rocks and pebbles would get stuck between the caliper and the barrel of the wheels and scrap them. I know this is a problem on the newest M3/M4 with carbon ceramic brakes and OEM 19" wheel. Personally I wouldn't go smaller than 18".
Yeah BMW say not to go below 18 on these for the clearance. Like you say this could cause issue while driving and may need to check the insurance as if anything happens it may not cover you.
