You don't need to remove the centre cap. Once you start to see the lacquer swell and go cloudy around the edge of the centre cap - it's time to talk to the dealer. BMW will replace them once it's visible. If you do have the wheels off you could put a bit of copper grease in the hub centre and on the area where the wheel touches the hub - stops them sticking together but still allows the heat from the brakes to dissipate through the hub and wheel.
I think the wheels have a 3 year warranty. I had 3 alloys replaced in year 2 and the 4th in year 3 at about 30 months.
