The new liners with the stock tires passed the litmus test, which is backing up my moderately inclined driveway and turning full lock to the right for a short distance to access the 3rd bay in the garage.

No longer experiencing that obnoxious burned plastic aroma.

This had been my only gripe about the 1 M to date. So with nothing else to whine about this is now the perfect horseless carriage in my eyes and heart.
I have now had two dealers (Patrick and Motorwerks, both Chicago burbs) deny the presence of a bulletin; also stated since rubbing was taking place with non-BMW wheels (same spec tho, including offset) and tires (Michelin Pilot winters in the specified 235/40 18's) that could not help...Do you have way of finding actual bulletin?
