2) obviously it seems a winter tire/wheel won't use the tire system, right? i've been using the Michelin Pilot Alpins in the winter which are great with 17" wheels. i don't know if they have run flats for these. if not... then what happens if you get a flat... because there is no spare in this car, right???

1-None of us has "seen" the car...dunno. My Vette shows the individual TP at each wheel ~, real time.
I would assume the new sys. for BMW would show something similar.
2-Vette owners have been arguing and advising on how to run non-RFTs for years: can of goop, small
compressor and plugs, cell phone and AAA
card, etc., etc., or some combo of the above.
I'd save the hand wringing for when we know more about the new car
and its features and options.
RFTs are an innovation and yet, insidious, imo.
