Here in Australia the dealers have no choice but to supply the car with runflats (basically for no other reason than it then gives them the opportunity to sell insurance on the wheel & tyre). When we bought our F25 X3 4 years ago, arranged beforehand with a tyre retailer to swap out the OEM runflats (which were awful Goodyear Excellence crap) for conventional tyres. Straight swap of five conventional tyres (the fifth for a full size spare in the back) for four runflats. With the relative prices here in the Australia at the time, financially it was probably a win for the tyre shop but I got rid of the runflats. Ring around and see what deal you can strike.
Failing that, as ShinySteelRobot (great username) suggested, just stay with the runflats for now and switch over further down the track. I'd also still get the space saver spare - especially as the F48 X1 has the perfect under floor storage for it.
