Not sure what you mean by plugged Andy?

It can be repaired as it is not near the shoulder if you want to go down that route some people do not like repairs

Hmm - I'll take it to local BMW independent tomorrow - they are really good guys.

On a positive note polished with Topaz yesterday and looks fab

Yup that will probably be repairable. Easy enough to repair it your self with a kit from flea bay. Takes about twenty minutes, including reading the instructions.

This is the kit I have.

Obviously you need a Compressor to re-inflate the tyre.

Unless it's a run flat, in which case your Screwed.

Unscrew it, dont pull. If its threaded, you might get lucky.

Hi,

I have had a lot of good results from "stop n go" tyre repair kits (some of which also have CO2 cartridges for temporary inflation - enough to get you to a garage).
On ebay here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STOP-N-GO-SUP ... SwurZZFdIC

This one has enough plugs for 15 repairs.

I have repaired a fair few car and motorcycle punctures with these kits and have continued to run the tyres until worn out with no issues.

Might be worth a try?
