Hey there
with something like 20.000 miles my front tyres look like this! Pressure was always controled and I've read all over the internet that there are lots of cases like mine...I have the standard pirelli euforia on the 142 rims...205/50 R17 in the front and 225/45 R17 in the back! I've also know about some owners with other brands and rims that have the same prob...so i'm not sure what to think...is this a setup issue or a tyre issue? I've went to my dealer and they said it was a tyre issue. As bmw warranty doesn't cover tyres, i'll have to pay for the new tyres, and wait for my dealer to send the "defect" tyres to pirelli factory so they can assume the fault. If it's a setup prob, than bmw will assume the new tyre cost, but, in either case, i'll have to pay for the new tyres!
Here are the pics
