Picked up a little gift

It can be repaired as it is not near the shoulder if you want to go down that route some people do not like repairs :|
 
Hmm - I'll take it to local BMW independent tomorrow - they are really good guys.

On a positive note polished with Topaz yesterday and looks fab
 
Yup that will probably be repairable. Easy enough to repair it your self with a kit from flea bay. Takes about twenty minutes, including reading the instructions. :wink:

This is the kit I have.

Obviously you need a Compressor to re-inflate the tyre. :)

Unless it's a run flat, in which case your Screwed. :exitright:
 
Hi,

I have had a lot of good results from "stop n go" tyre repair kits (some of which also have CO2 cartridges for temporary inflation - enough to get you to a garage).
On ebay here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STOP-N-GO...806453?hash=item5b3803f175:g:jckAAOSwurZZFdIC

This one has enough plugs for 15 repairs.

I have repaired a fair few car and motorcycle punctures with these kits and have continued to run the tyres until worn out with no issues.

Might be worth a try?

How does that work?

I had assumed that professional puncture repairs were done from the inside with a mushroom-shaped piece of rubber, so that the pressure forced a good seal. Surely anything that gets inserted from the outside could pop out?

I've used those before (rats tails) never had a problem-it's pushed through the hole "doubled up" by the pick up tool.
The rats tails are rubber & coated in glue, excess length is trimmed off & they don't come out again :thumbsup:

Thanks Rob - that's my something learned for today!
 
Get yourself a tire plugger kit off ebay. Uses the mushroom shaped rubber bung that is pushed in from the outside using the tool provided https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dfk0MXUuiM
