I've added a note to my original post about the outside diameter condition, i.e. there are no impact marks from pothole damage etc, the wheel is clean smooth all around both sides on the outer diameter (spoke side and opposite spoke side).

OK, that helps.
If I read you correctly, BMW is saying the deviation is an indication of out-of-roundness, and hence you have a bend, regardless of the wheel being actually bent or not.
I thought the situation was different similar to another person reporting in another thread they had an actual bent rim that was cracked.
On the basis of that info, I'd have to say the crack came first.
Rolf, scratch my poll results as I voted the bend came 1st. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
