Just like you, I also wanted to order 19's without run flats. Decided to go with performance run flats as well as the spare tire option, and will switch over to non-runflats after the original run flats are mostly worn down.

Same story here in Aus
The issue is that the Dealer takes responsibility if they swap the tyres (A) tires (US) , so they wont do it.
It is also a BMW directive in regards to supposedly better safety that RF tyres
be used.
The other issue is that you need to carry a repair kit or spare wheel with non RF tyres. So the dealer doesn't want to supply that either.
As mentions by the others, you may just have to switch over to non-runflats after the original run flats are mostly worn out.
