Would love to hear same feedback as i'm looking at 2019/2020 models as well. One of them I noticed in the workorder they shared during Certification process that they noticed a leak and replaced/resealed valve cover gaskets. Is that a major concern that the gasket was replaced around 40K miles?
Coincidentally, 2 or 3 cars i've seen had a small bubble on a tire..wonder if the weight and suspension stiffness makes their tires prone to pothole damage..

I think it is more the low-profile sidewall that is susceptible to damage. I had it happen to my Mas when pulling off the highway and hitting an unseen pothole and long ago on my Audi A6 just hitting a pothole. Usually I am the guy weaving down the road to avoid holes and sunken manhole covers.

The Ghibli v6 doesn't have valve cover gaskets, they're glued on. Could be a manufacture defect and nothing to worry about.

I have the exact same bubble... low profile tires + curb/pothole = bad day.
I actually hit a pothole in my BMW once, cut a hole right though the sidewall. Had to get a flatdeck as BMW's don't carry spares and runflats are BS. Amazingly though, rim was undamaged.
