I realize RFTs are an industry issue, not just BMW, and I'm looking at a worst-case scenario that will hopefully never happen.

My understanding (I've never tested it) is that roadside assistance will tow you as far as they can for free, then you pay for the rest of the miles to where you want to go.
Once you have non-standard tires a BMW shop won't be much help. I would have the car towed to the nearest real tire shop. If it will take several days to get the right replacement tire, I would have them install any cheap tire that will fit the rim and wheel well. With that on the front and three good tires I'd be able to get home from just about anywhere (only with RWD, of course).
