Any issues with installing new tires at Firestone?

Just looking for a heads up- I'm getting four new run-flats (Potenza RE960AS RFTs) installed at a local tire place. Are there any issues involved in not going to the dealer or a BMW indy to get this done? Thanks in advance.

you shouldn't have any issues at any competent tire shop as opposed to the dealer, try checking reviews on yelp of the specific firestone or just keep an eye on your car like I do for any shenanigans.

They may mark your wheels or use pneumatic tools to remount the lug bolts. I have no experience with Firestone in particular, but I have been disappointed with "chain" service in the past, and I prefer indy, even for the simplest things.
