Does anyone know if you can put these size rims on a 525xi without really altering the performance in the snow?

It will perform horribly in the snow. Do you know of any 19" automobile snow/all-season tires that would fit an E60?

If you want 19" or 20" for your 525xi use them as summer tires/wheels. Shop around (tirerack or your local tire dealer) and get some dedicated winter wheels/snows and swap them in the winter season. Better traction in winter months and extends the life of your sumer tires/ wheels.
