I asked my service advisor at BMW what he thought and he told me just leave them on until the tire blows...if it's running fine now why spend the money to get a new tire. There's no guarantee it's even going to blow.

I've had the sidewall bubble since the first month of ownership (May 08) and I've had zero issues whatsoever. I've had my car upwards of 140+ on many occasions. Now, that isn't to say that I think that it's the safest thing to do, but I don't think that it's an absolute must to replace it as soon as you get it.
My SA told me the same thing. I'm not worrying about it until I'm ready to replace them. Just my .02
