Had a dentist appointment today and I left school around 11 to go there. While making a left out of the school I got a "Tire Pressure" warning on my iDrive. Thinking nothing of it (iDrive does do a lot of false alarms), I go to my dentist. When I come back the tire is flat.

Call BMW assist and they changed the tire but BMW wants $250 for ONE TIRE!!!? What should I do? Anywhere I can get a cheaper tire?

Well, if you decide to go ahead and buy a new one, I know Sam's Club/Costco have great deals and warranties on their tires. They really stand by them which is why we've been there for the past five or so years.
