The same thing happened to me on my E61, had the tyre plugged with a mushroom, the tyre blew up about 3 months later, so maybe they're not wrong... Anyways, by Monday I should have a new tyre installed.
not my problem because I have extra tyres included in my lease, but it feels like a waste to throw away a tyre that could have lasted for another 10k kms...
