Ordering M550i with 20" Wheels - No All Seasons?

I just ordered an M550i and I think/hope it should go into the system later today. However, based on my reading online and this forum, the RFTs I will get will be a mystery brand (Pirelli, Goodyear, other?) but they will be summer tires and not all season. I don't see a way to specific the tires (other than RFT vs not).

I'd be taking delivery in the winter.. so does this make any sense? Is it accurate to say everyone who takes delivery with 20" wheels gets summer tires on their vehicle? I think this means I have to buy separate tires for the winter, no? What do people in upstate NY, Michigan, etc do? Does everyone instantly buy new tires? Am I wrong or crazy here? I can't imagine every purchaser would realize this and seems like it's just a bunch of wrecks waiting to happen? Do the dealerships disallow test drives of lots cars with these wheels in the slightlest of inclement weather for a quarter of the year? Thx
