Coming from the M forums, this option would be an automatic selection. It's not expensive, you get bigger brakes, and better looking wheels. I find it amusing that people will spend as much on a driver assistance option and not this.
You CAN option square all-season runflats as an option. Some people prefer non performance tires for various reasons. You probably just test drove one that was configured by a dealership expecting it to sell to someone who doesn't really care about driving the car.

By default, the car does come with staggered performance tires. non-RFT is a no-cost option, kinda, as it does require optioning a space saver spare tire.

However, I think the M340i has become a little under-tired considering it has 380hp. It still has the same size tires that the E46 M3 and regular E90 cars had.
