Question on 403M wheels

I have found a model I want to go talk to a dealer about but the thing is is that it's an M-SPORT 335i xDrive and it comes with 403M wheels so I'd assume it also comes with mixed summer tires as that's the only option available for the 403M from what I've seen.

I can't have the mixed summer tires, I need all-season especially with winter coming soon and I don't want separate tires for the summer and winter.

Is there any way if I do get the car, to factor into my deal, that they keep the summer tires on there already and that I can swap them with 19" all season tires?

Check with your dealer. The MY15 BMWUSA configurator seems like it has issues. i.e. you add MSport brakes and it forces 18" only wheels. Weird.

403M only comes as mixed summer tires.

I doubt a dealership would do this for you. Honestly, you're going to spend thousands of dollars on tires to switch to all season, might as well invest that in winter tires and rims instead.

Then, you get maximum handling during the appropriate seasons, and double the tire life, instead of just replacing great tires with mediocre expensive tires.

There is no harm in asking but I am sure that would be very expensive through the dealer. You would probably be better off financially by selling them once the vehicle is delivered and buying a new set of wheels/tires. Alternatively have them give you a price for swapping that wheel setup for another OEM one with A/S tires.
