I understand your concern about receiving summer tires with winter approaching.

If the car arrives with summer tires and the dealer won't swap them, you have a couple of options:

Purchase Winter Tires with a Cheap Set of Wheels: Buy a set of winter tires and wheels and swap them out when the weather gets colder. This is a common practice for many drivers in regions with harsh winters.

All-Season Tires: Sell the summer tires and consider getting all-season tires, which can handle a variety of conditions and eliminate the need to swap tires twice a year.

I live in Nebraska and previously had a 2013 135i, a rear-wheel-drive car, which I swapped seasonally with winter and summer tires. I absolutely loved the setup. However, with the M340i xDrive system, I've found that all-season tires work perfectly fine for NE winters. Even with our winter last year, when we got 7-8 inches in a day, the car performed very well.

It's definitely worth discussing your concerns with the dealer again or seeking a second opinion from another dealership. Good luck!
