It depends. If you're touring around the West, for example, the next place you'd want fixing your problem may be some distance away. That's why you'd carry a full-size spare and the tools necessary to mount it. Then you're in a position to wait until you reach a shop qualified to mount a new tire on an 18" wheel. If you've chosen well, they won't run the nut/bolt beyond the 104 ft. lbs. called for by BMW.
