almost had a heart attack when i saw my baby with this and by the looks of it it was far through the side wall and i was fearing the worst. ofcourse i didnt think the tire insurance was worth it so i didnt get it. i took it to the nearest bmw service center as soon as possible. after fearing the worst they let me know that the screw was only about 2 centimeters in length and didnt go anywhere near through the tire

Tire after the nail

Nice. I had 2 screws in the same tire 2 weeks apart. First had to be removed and they patched the RFT. The second one, I removed and monitored tire pressure, and it's been fine. Good for you, considering replacement tires for your car, aren't exactly easy to come by.

If that was my car I probably would have replaced the tire.But then I've always been a pretty cautious guy.Well,at least I've been that way in recent years.
