I wish that this story was not true. Unfortunately, it is and would sooner deposit my new 7 series in the Hudson River than to drive it again. During morning rush hour on a Friday in NYC, I hit a pothole on an exit ramp at no more than 5mph and blew out my run flat on the front driver's side. To escalate my nightmare, during the evening rush hour of the same day while on the entrance ramp from the Bklyn Bridge to the FDR North, I hit a pothole at a 5-10mph and promptly blew out my run flat on the front passenger side. 5 months earlier, I blew out a run flat on the CT turnpike at midnight and BMW did not include the tire lock keys with my new 7series making it impossible to change the tire. Oh, one more thing of note, BMW Roadside Assistance does NOT carry tire lock keys. I have had other memorable moments with run flats on my BMW and suffice it to say, this past Friday marks the last time I will ever drive a car with a run flat and will likely never drive a BMW again.
