Got the car back today and HURRAH! - I now have the "NEW" design as well. I was able to measure the step down, that previously was 3mm at most is now 13mm. That is a huge difference in the stiffness capability over the old design. I have no doubt that, even with using RFT, the new design rim would take substancially more abuse before failure, it might bend before cracking. I have no cornerns or worries about any cracking issues using the Non RFT's with the new design.
Shame on BMW for not making this a "Voluntary Safety Recall"
