Just got a flat

just got the car in december, its an 06 e90 on runflats, have a year of original warranty left.

whats the process i have to go thru to get a new tire? Ive never been to the dealer since I got the car. how much is it going to cost, and how long will it take for a replacement? do i need an appointment or can i just drive in?

can i take the wheel off and take it in, or do i have to drive the care there?

sorry for all the questions, im a little pissed right now about the no spare tire thing.

Find out what tire you have, and order it off of tirerack.com
then bring it to a local tire shop or an sts and have them mount and balance it.

The dealership will RAPE you, if you bring it there

You can probably patch the RFT depending on where the nail punctured the tire. Usually if the nail is on the tread then some places can patch the tire. If it's on the sidewalk then you might have to replace with a new tire.
