We have a couple of different options for tires chains for your 315/35R20 size tires. It is important to note that you will want to check your 2015 BMW X5's owner's manual for any limitations or special instructions regarding tire chains on your vehicle. Based on my research, BMW does not recommend the use of snow or tire chains on your X5's tire size. However some areas require the use of chains to comply with local laws, so I have linked the following chains that will fit your tire size if you decide to use tire chains.
For the tire chain that will require the least amount of clearance, and will not require any access at the back of the tire, Thule offers the Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, K-Summit XXL # TH02230K66. These chains grip the tire tread and leave alloy wheels untouched, The Thule K-Summit XXL will alight and tighten automatically for a simple installation. I've attached a review video of these chains on a similar X5 as yours.
For a more budget friendly option, you can use the Thule Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01571265. These chains require 16 mm of clearance for installation and is great for off-road and larger commercial application because of the chain size. I've attached a review video of these chains for you as well.
I've also attached a link to all of these tire chains for your 315/35R20 size tires.
