I just looked this up today for my 2019 530e with same wheel/tire size as you.
On pg.317 of my manual it states:
Rotating wheels between axles
Different wear patterns can occur on the front
and rear axles depending on individual driving
conditions. The tires can be rotated in pairs between
the axles to achieve even wear. Further information
is available from a dealer’s service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop. After rotating, check the tire pressure and
correct, if needed.
Rotating the tires is not permissible on vehicles
with different tire sizes or rim sizes on the front
and rear axles.
The reason I looked this up is because my 530e should get its tires rotated now, however I remember my 2012 X5 manual clearly stating that BMW doesn't recommend tire rotation for this vehicle.
