Repairing runflat tyres
All models
Situation:
The question is regularly asked whether a repair should be performed on runflat tyres after
a loss of pressure.
Runflat tyres
(also known as "tyres with emergency
running characteristics") can be
recognised by a circular symbol on the
side wall bearing the letters RSC
(Runflat System Component).
Note:
As a general rule, BMW has never recommended repairs on tyres. However,
should individual customers wish to have their tyre repaired, their wishes may be
accommodated.
A list of tyre manufacturers who approve or disapprove of repairs to runflat tyres can be
