I hit a pothole in my 335i years ago, which had runflats, and it put a gash in the sidewall so the runflats were of zero use. Luckily I had bought myself a spare tire kit from a 5-series so I made it home. Nobody carries tires in the sizes our cars use so you will be stuck for 2-3 days waiting on a tire if you aren't close to home when something like that happens.
AAA or other roadside assistance companies are the best option. Your story is exactly why RFTs are not worth it to begin with IMO.

Ah knew there were 2 temps given but didn't remember what they were exactly.
