Tire Rotation on a lease

I did a search but didn't find anything specific or recent.

I have a 2015 428i lease with square 17" setup Pirelli Cinturato P7 All-Season RFTs. I've had the car now for just over 6 months (36 month lease) and have around 6,600 miles on the odometer.

I took my car in for it's first service (oil change) about a week ago. When I got the car back with the service paperwork, it says the dealership measured 5/32" tread on rear tires, and 7/32" on the fronts. Assuming the tires started with 10/32" tread (is this accurate?), this means my rear tires are at less than 50% life after just six months. Is this normal? Yes, I drive pretty aggressively, but I don't track my car. Just wondering what the normal tire-life expectancy is.

On another note, should I bother paying for someone to rotate my tires so the front and rear tires wear more evenly? If so, how much should I expect to pay for this at a) BMW dealership ($) and b) Indy tire shop.

Thanks!
