AndroidRobot, unfortunately I am unconvinced that the part you've identified would fit over M Sport brakes. On closer inspection, it is listed as a 19" rim and from all other indication, even full size rims below 20" will not fit over those brakes. Have you ever tried yours on?
I haven't tried mine on, but all Australian delivered G05s come standard with the M sport pack and spare wheel as standard. On my build it shows up as '300 emergency spare wheel'.

Thank you, but this is a resolved issue if you continue reading linked thread and some other hard-to-find posts. Those part number spare wheel rims and tires are now fully test fitted and fit over M Sport brakes on G05/G06/G07 without issue, front, back, left, and right. The only reason this came up as an issue at all is BMW Canada's ludicrous claims and idiotic behaviour regarding the spare in Canada.

Most places won't repair a RFT IF it has been driven after going flat. But, if you can keep enough air in it (slow leak), it is repairable like any other tire.

The issue is, it isn't always obvious there's any internal damage, so most manufacturers and reliable shops won't repair one. Sometimes, if driven further than recommended at higher speeds, when dismounting it, there's a handful or more of rubber chunks. Then, it's obvious, but not always.

When its time to swap out the tires, try out the continental run flats. Ive had much better success with them.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why RFT are not repairable. I never knew this.
I finally got it repaired here in Canada cost me $50. The screw was almost in center inside the tread. Lucky! No issue so far.

If you don't actually drive it to zero pressure (say it's a slow leak and you keep filling it up), functionally, it's no different than a 'normal' tire. The problem is, there's no way to tell if you actually have driven it with zero pressure, and any internal damage MIGHT not show, so the tire could be dangerous. Most shops don't want the liability.

Some of the Michelin (and maybe others) are ROF, rather than RFT. A subtle difference. A RFT tire is supposed to be be able to handle full load for 50-miles (as long as you don't exceed the speed limit). A ROF tire's ability to run flat will depend on the load, and only a lightly loaded vehicle can go 50-miles. A ROF tire tends to ride better as the sidewalls don't need to be quite as robust.

Dang I'm glad I drove 50 miles to have it replaced. I had a plug and was working fine but I didn't want to risk the long drive home.

Note that I have no spare and it is impossible for a Canadian X5 purchaser to purchase a spare — BMW marketing is filled with staff as bright as black holes ...

No idea of the cause, didn't hit anything, normal urban driving. Get a car alert, "tire low, slow down and stop when safe." Tire pressure at 4psi. So far so good, at that point I would not have even known I had a flat, it was that good. So I gently make it to the office, around 6km so far.

Arrange dealer appointment to change the tire. Dealer is 10km away. Started to drive, a couple of km in, the back end is wobbly and I am hearing a squishy sound. Pull off, tire at zero psi, still on rim. Call dealer, "is it ok for me to continue driving" — no one knows based on above description, no one will take responsibility so we agree that I shouldn't drive. Now waiting for tow truck.

This is my first RFT. Not fully impressed. I thought I was supposed to be able drive 50+ km on to safety/service here? Had I a spare, I would have changed it and dealt with logistics on reasonable time. With RFT, just stuck like an idiot, wasting time and waiting to be rescued.

I am demanding the dealer gets me a spare, not taking no for an answer whatever it takes. Idiotic decision to not include a spare.
hey, at least you're not a tesla driver with no-run flat tires and no spare tire, no jack (obviously) and who's car is so heavy that any friend/good samaritan's jack don't be able to jack up your car. (true story with my BIL's Model x)

Interesting. However I don't really buy the claim of jack capacity difficulty. Heaviest Model X is 5,500lbs and our cars are in the 5,000lbs +/- a few depending on model and configuration. There are also plenty of large SUVs and certainly pickups that are much heavier than that. So while a small jack from an '83 Civic won't handle it, there are plenty of jacks that will.
