3500 miles flat tire
I don't know anything about RFT's.. My rear passenger side tire seems to be flat, filled with air and next day is flat again after sitting in my garage. Seems like it went flat after I hit a major pothole on the road. Can these tires be repaired? Hopefully my rim is still solid. Recommendations on course of action?

Check the valvestems and make sure they're tight before you start replacing tires. It's a common problem on these cars. A hole in it created by hitting a pothole would probably be obvious.

they can be repaired from a normal nail puncture on the part that meets the road. a pothole damage is usually a rip/gash on the side walls which has to be replaced.

The BMW dealer will not repair run flats. Tire shops will if it is not sidewall damage.
