You have a few options.
1. Tyre repair kit/mobility kit
a. You can buy a BMW kit fron the net or BA.
b. You can buy an aftermarket one
Ease ensure the sealent does not da.age your TPMS by checking with the sealant supplier. Also some sealant causes corrosion on the tyre where the tyre have to be replaced once injected. Check with sealent supplier.
2. Mini Spare Tyre
You can purchase a mini spare tyre by BMW according to your model to ensure correct size. It comes a set with tools needed.
3. Check with your vehicle insurance company. Normally a free towing is provided for a certain mileage. If your tyre us flat, you can call for towing to the nearest shop for repair or tow to your home if shops are closed at night or weekend.

Please take note on the following concerns on mobility kit you need to find out before use.
1. Sealant corrosive - some sealents are corrosive. Thus, after use, the tyre has to be well washed and even then the tyre will not last. Check with sealant on details.
2. Sealant effect on TPMS and valve. Some sealants may damage TPMS sensor if you have one and/or tyre valve. Check with sealant supplier.
3. Procedure of using Puncture Repair Kit - some kits require you to fill in sealant and air, drive a few miles and add air in the tyre again. Sealant required to be uniformly coating tyre to seal puncture and only happens after tyre is rolled.
4. Ensure holebis not larger than 5mm or sealant may temporarily block hoke before exploding the tyre (may happen at high load/cornering/impact by uneven road surface)
Good luck
Cheers
