I have heard similar stories from many other drivers (not just BMW drivers) who have had wear problems with Bridgestone rft's. According to the "experts", the third generation Bridgestone rft's will not have such problems. We'll see. My recently retired Mercedes E Class had Conti non-rft's, and they handled well and rode very comfortably, which is something I did not expect since Conti used to be known for making square tires. But in the end, I have to agree with you and others in this forum that Michelin does make the best quality tires in the industry. I will start a new thread about my experience with the Michelins that came on my 2010 X6 as the miles go by.
