For your 2013 BMW X3, the Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV - Size 245 # TH04115245 you mentioned are a confirmed fit. This is on your 245/45/19 tires.
I pulled up your owners manual and as you stated, they say to only use in pairs on the rear wheels. The size of your rear wheels is not listed in the manual, but you would need to follow the instructions of using on your rear wheels. For your size 275/40/19 rear wheels, I recommend using the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CG9 - Size 117 # TH2004205117. These chains will provide the best traction with the most internal clearance on your vehicle. They are made from high quality metal that resists corrosion and they are easy to install. They have self-centering, and self tensioning that is patented. They come in a durable storage container with a kneeling mat, gloves, and mounting instructions included.
