My argument to that would be that as the car is fitted with a tyre pressure sensor/warning system, the system should warn you when the pressure is low enough to cause serious and life threatening damage to the wheels.

It's all a load of rubbish, a half qualified mettalurgist can see what the issue with the wheels is. Not having a go at dealer tech's, but they are not qualified or experienced enough to adequately diagnose, they are simply jumping to conclusions - "I don't know what it is, so it must be pothole damage".

BMW ought to step up and sort this one out, before someone has a serious accident. BUT they will have done a risk vs cost analysis...
