i picked up a 2011 328i loaner and on the way home i was on the fdr i hit a pot hole near 96st
knew i was screwed at that point about 15 mins later .low tire came on
pulled over and found flat
now its parked in front of my house with no spare no jack nothing
i dont wanna call the dealer because im afraid of them bending me over
found a lil gash on the sidewall i hope thats the least of my problems
but i really feel like its bent

i ended up bending the front rim and tearing the sidewall on the runflat
i drove it home and threw it up on a jack stand
found a place on boston road called dunn tire repair
took a lil while but they took care of me got me a new runflat and repaired my rim
i brought the car back to bmw
and they didnt even notice the repairs thank god
i was really worried becuz bmw took my credit card
and that they would crush me in repairs i really dont know why they would give some one a car with out a spare :thumbsdown:

Sorry to hear your problem's but 5 serie's car's with runflat's don't have a spare tyre,hence the runflat should do it's job of getting you off the road and somewhere safe.Glad you managed to sort it without the dealership knowing or else you might have been stung a lot worse.
