Yep, I'm not recommending plugs as a long term solution, only as a more convenient alternative to carrying around a spare, jack and lug wrench that don't really have a home in the X1, not to mention the potential of slinging a dirty full size wheel and tire back in.

Since this is also my wife's car, as was the 135i without RFT's, her solution would just be to call BMW roadside and wait for the tow truck to materialize. Of course she has been taught to request a tow to the nearest Discount Tire, not the dealer, which AAA is just fine with, since they're who actually answers when you call BMW Roadside.
