I've always rotated tires on my BMWs because I DIY and I have a lift.
It's funny, I had a conversation at work about this and one of my coworkers (who knew nothing about cars) was mortified I didn't rotate my tires every 5k miles. I had to explain what staggered tires were and then that RWD tires experience much more similar wear front to back than FWD cars.

It was funny. She was also mortified that sports car tires last 15k miles sometimes. I think she's gonna be a Corolla girl for life.
