It seems that X-bimmers on very low profile tires are very sensitive to potholes. Especially with run-flat-tires.
After spending S$535 on the Saturday morning the tire was eventually replaced with a new one :-)

Totally with liljestig on this.
Really don't understand the fascination with super big wheels and the resultant super low profile tires.
If you want the car to look cool in your garage, the bigger the better. But if you want the car to drive well (and safely and comfortably), the 19's are about as big as you should go.
As alway, YMMV
