22k & 2 flat?

UGH
I am on my 2nd flat on the runflats in 2 months. I took my MINI 3 hrs to the Dallas dealership and they fixed my first flat (passenger rear). Everyone I have called at this point is talking to me like that could have never happened and I'm making it all up. I guess runflats can't be fixed.. Well, now my other rear tire is leaking fast.. Do I now need to buy 2 new tires??
Please help..

I had a nail in a runflat and took it to Big O who happily fixed it for me. I drove it for another year with no problems. As long as the puncture isn't in the sidewall (or too close to the edge of the tread), you should be fine.

SOO they CAN be fixed!!! Excellent!! The BMW Dealer lady and a Firestone guy I talked to over the phone told me that they CANNOT and WILL NOT be fixed. Thanks for the info.
