Again; it's a "positives" vs. "negatives" risk analysis that will vary depending on usage, experience and personal preferences. For me I think BMW did the right thing; I don't want the added weight and space penalty for a spare to mitigate (what I consider to be) a fairly low risk of a non repairable flat.
For my 4x4 truck and even my offroad motorcycles, I have an entirely different opinion....

We may disagree on what is rare, but I totally agree on BMW doing the right thing. In no way was I trying to make an argument for a spare or run-flats!! In my M4 and Z4, I take the risk.
