At night I was driving at 30 and a car overtook me and it appeared as if someone in the car threw a few drawing pins (?) but it could have been stone chips... Few seconds later I get a Tyre Puncture warning (coincidence...?) on the screen telling me to drive at a max of 50 mph (they are run flats).

Now must I go to a BMW dealer to replace the punctured tyre(s) because they can reset / set the TPWS (tyre pressure warning system) or any "high street" garage / tyre place will do?

If I were to drive faster than 50 how dangerous could that be? Best not to try it?!?!

When replacing worn tyres (tread approaching legal limit etc) do I need to go to a dealer again because of the TPWS reset / set?

Thank you :-)
