Either that, or the BMW CEO has a second cousin who is heavily investing in roadside assistance/towing companies. Seriously, though, I know there are horror stories out there. But my wife's E350 has 130,000 miles, and the inflatable spare has never seen the light of day. We once drove it from San Antonio to Pinehurst, NC on a tire with a nail, slowly loosing air. Had to pump it up each morning. It was no problem, so we drove back to San Antonio, and the next day I got it fixed. By the same token, I popped the sidewall of two of my Goodyear F1 Assymmetric run flats on minor potholes before I replaced them. I guess it's all a crap shoot. I do like the Michelin PS3ZPs, however.
