Welcome.  Did you buy from dealer?  If so I would be asking questions.

Welcome.

That doesn't sound right to me. Hope you can get it sorted.

Hi and welcome fella.
Am I hearing this right? 3.5k from new tyres?? Surely not.

When I bought my X5 I had the dealer knock £500 of the price because the front hoops were down to 4mm.

As you have no doubt gathered, this is not normal.  I would be taking your finds to the dealer.  Can you also confirm the tyre size and load rating as this may highlight whether or not you have the correct tyres fitted.  A picture or the worn tyre could also help us with a fuller picture.
