Just hire a car and sort it out on the way back home.

Who is the PHER from France, is it Asterix?

No Mate - I'm a Brit in Dubai. Not much use in this instance.

Driller is based in France, Paris iirc.

I agree. Hire a 1 litre Eurobox to stay mobile and fix the tyre later.

Or you buy the tyre here, today and get an easyjet return daytrip - with the tyre as your hold baggage.

His only hope is leboncoin. The link already highlighted by someone is probably as close as it gets.

Next time, use a car with a full size spare. It's bloody annoying how manufacturers think that "assistance" can solve any problem related to tyres. It bloody can't!

Something that's not been suggested yet, in last resort, try to call BMW Assistance (French version) : [phone] (Mondial Assistance). They may be able to know if a local BMW garage has a tyre, or which local garage has 24/7 service.
