I'm wondering out loud if the problem may be with the Turanza EL 42 tires rather than RFTs per se.
My 2006 330Xi came with Turanza EL 42 RFTs and they were terrible. Replaced them with Continental RFTs and those were better. Biggest issue with the Turanzas was unacceptable harshness on potholes, something that was less of an issue with the Continentals. Maybe that harshness with the Turanza RFTs makes them more prone to damage.
Interestingly, my wife's 2006 X3 came with Turanza EL 42 tires but they were go flats, not RFTs. That vehicle had a firmer ride but not the harshness of my E90 and we had no problems with the Turanzas. Maybe the RFT version of the EL42s have a problem.
On my current F30, I replaced the OEM 225/45-18 tires with 245/40-18 tires. also Bridgestones, but Potenza 960AS RFTs. I have hit my share of potholes but so far, knock on wood, have not had a problem with the Potenzas.
