The E9x Sport Package has pretty low profile tires with the hard RFT sidewalls. I would think it would be more prone to pothole damage. The 535i Sport Package tires aren't so low profile. And they put Goodyear Excellence RFT tires on it which aren't quite as harsh as the RE050A RFTs on the E9x. I'd say there's lower risk, but there's always a chance. I'm not going to worry about it and didn't get the wheel and tire insurance. If you're so worried about it, get the insurance. It's kinda pricey, though. My dealer quoted me $1k for 3 years, I think.
