Trunk space is not really worth it. When I need trunk space, I take my wife's Forester. 
To answer the OP question: in the 3 years I owned my last BMW with non-RFTs, I had 4 flats on NY roads. 2 of those were non-repairable pothole damage. The wheels were OK. Your mileage may vary. |
I've had my run flats lose air pressure so I just continued driving on them and took it to the dealer the next day to get the tires replaced under free hazard insurance. No spare needed and better than changing out a spare on the side of the road as you can just keep driving.
