Besides waiting the overnight if you get the flat far from home after service hours and on a Sunday / Holiday, there is always the risk that the dealer doesn't have the tire in the stock.
IMHO for those in the northeast who do a lot of long distance driving rolling without a spare is not a very attractive option.

Thanks for this fantastic information. I looked for one specific for f06 but was unsuccessful. I thought about buying this one but was afraid it would be the wrong tire. I'll buy one of these now
Also, just had my 3rd flat tire! And this time it happened at night. Thankfully I was close enough to home that I could call for a ride. I tried driving a little on it but the car became borderline uncontrollable even at only 40 mph.
I love this car. but wow. Run flat tires are terrible and its irresponsible for bmw to make us rely on them.
