Pirellis are the worst tire for bimmers, they are hard as dick and they have the tendency to fall apart before the tread wears out

What are you basing this on, one experience? How would the tire react differently than on other cars? My old pirelli's lasted ~30,000 miles on a rear wheel drive car, and the new owner used it for more than that.

Can anyone else provide more detailed info on this theory?
