One of the reasons mfgs tend to recommend replacement is most rire shops cannot/do not understand tire damage. It is hard to ascertain when the carcass has been damaged due to overheating.... safer to say 'we wont repair a runflat that has been driven on'
why would you drive on a runflat and ruin the tire, when a spare and a tire repair can save the tire?

Ruining a tire is a small price to pay for returning home or a safe harbor safely. Being on the side of the road changing a tire exposing me and my vehicles occupants to danger is not a vision i embrace. I am glad to be running on run flats that can deliver me to safety without having to pull off the side of the road. BMW is known for great engineering and leading edge vehicles. BMW's endorsement of run flats is good enough for me.
