You do not need to ask an internet board. Look at the wear bars on your tires. If the tread is down to the wear bars or close to it than you need tires. Its not like bmw can pull a fast one on you and trick you telling you that your tires are worn since there is an objective measure on the tire to do that.

the dealer said that the tires were cupping real bad. on the out side of the tire it looks ok but he said on the inside its bad.
It sounds like Dunlop still hasnt fix the problem with the runflats... it's still wearing out too fast. See if the dealer will replace them for you with this bulletin.
