Absolutely true statement. I experienced a FLAT rft on a non-bmw vehicle but the tire shop refused to repair cauz I had driven on it. And true, if I had noticed (I don't know how since the sidewall do not collapse like regular tires) it before driving I could take it off the vehicle and bring to the shop...but again how??? New vehicles equipped with rft's ain't got no jack!!!...The only abnormal sign was the vehicle's TPM which sensed a drop in pressure, otherwise there was no other sensations and you got to bend over and examined every wheel before realizing you got a flat. In my e93 I don't even have trunk space for the smartly packaged accessory kit that bmw sells. I don't want to sound I am hostile but I am utterly frustrated with this ....
