The set I replaced the runflats with has gone 30k miles even though it was done entirely with a JB3 on the car, so that's why I draw the conclusion that the problem is the tires, not the car.

My point wasn't meant for you, but the OP. From his latest post, it sounded like he was trying to compare wear to an awd car.
But BMW's tend to have fairly aggressive rear camber, which tends to wear tires faster than others. Your GTO had an LSD too, and while you got better mileage out of non-RFT's, the 135i is still fairly aggressive on tires, and the stock RFT's are certainly not known for good wear, contrary to my single experience.
