YES you can not repair a run flat tire. People here want service to do it all the time and its a big No No from BMW. I would never patch a tire anyways. Your risking a repair on a tire that could blow out on the highway because you dont want to spend $250. Just doesnt make any sense to me. Even is its a non run flat why not just get a new tire for the safety and security of a new tire?

How did you manage to reset the warning? I have had a tire with low pressure for a while (can't find the puncture) and still have another day or so to go before I can get into the dealership. I would love to make the warning go away now that the tire is back up to pressure and then let it warn me when it gets low again.

I haven't been able to figure out how to reset that for the life of me.

If anyone out there knows how or if this is possible without being at the dealership please share!

Thanks
