Sorry that you got a crack.
I havent had X5 yet, but on my e46 I have bent a few of my OEM 18" wheels with very low 35 profile tires. Driving as carefully as possible in NYC it still does not help.
I have also bent a few of Mille Miglia 17" wheels with winter tires.
This is one of the reasons I didnt even get a sport package on the X.

I have to say I cant remember hitting any potholes that would have cracked a rim certainly not in the last month as I have been away for most of it! I pointed out to them that there was no damage to the tyre and they maintained that the new run flat tyres do not get damaged as easily as standard tyres and any impact gets passed on to the rim.
The new rim will cost me 400 euros. Has anyone else had a problem like this. I have to 20" Y spoke 214 Wheels
Thanks
