My sister bought a set of winter tires/wheels for her '18 Mercedes E-class sedan from the Tire Rack. Less than USD$1400 delivered. 4 Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires on 4 nice 8-spoke 18-inch wheels.
The pricing is all about the wheels used, so aftermarket vs. OE BMW wheels is what makes the difference. I paid about C$800 for a 17" set of cheapo Chinese-made alloys and Conti winter ties for our last VW. But yeah, there's also been some inflation there. The $3779 package mentioned uses smaller, less-expensive wheels and tires than the package I bought from BMW in 2019, but costs more. If I were the OP I'd be looking for an aftermarket solution too!
