I have noticed that the two top pivot bearings become loose during rides and I have to tighten them after almost every ride. Fortunately the BMC has a very stiff frame setup so it doesn't result in flex / play, but I would like to know if this is normal and what I can do to fix it if it's not normal?

Your best bet is to put locktite on the bolts before tightening them. It works a charm - especially with pivot bolts...

 

Thanks. Took the bolts out and the bearings feel a bit rough, think they will need to be replaced sometime and it might be part of why the bolts are coming loose.
