Pirelli Run Flat Tire Issues?

Hello BMW X5 owners!  I have a 2018 X5 that I absolutely love.  This past spring/summer I had two different Pirelli run flat tires come apart, literally, going 80 MPH on the interstate, both causing extensive damage each time to the car.  The car is regularly serviced at BMW dealerships.  The first time I thought it was maybe fluke, but when it happened again I became more concerned.  Fortunately, each time I was able to safely get the car to the side of the road.  However, it could've been tragic had another car been close or had I rolled the car.  Long story short, I filed a claim with Pirelli on the second tire and the tire was mailed to them.  Pirelli came back yesterday that it was a road hazard issue.  There is no way.  I am asking for full documentation.  Has anyone else had this issue with Pirelli tires on their BMW?  They are Pirelli Scorpion Verde. It seems one has to be injured or killed to get their attention.

      325i push button start switch

      Hi. That start/stop ignition button never turns off. Same with the P when parked. I will check the mini fuses on the car. I even added some not in fuse box. I will look for gear and brake fuse. On diagram and #. Thanks

      Looking to buy a used 2015 650i w/ low kms, any advice?

      Hello fellow BMW enthusiast, I'm looking to purchase a 2015 650i xdrive with 70K kms. I understand I'll need to hold some cash back for maintenance/repairs and have another car if it needs to be in the shop. I don't have a garage so I won't be servicing it myself. Anything I should be looking for before I buy and is this even a good idea? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Geoff

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren I brought mine a few years ago (2009 if I recall) through Ebay. Make the checks mine was from a UK seller with good feed back who also offered back up. Before that I used BMW 1.4.0 (still have it on the same laptop) Where ever you buy just make the normal sensible checks to make sure you will have support if needed Dave
