I have a 2007 3 series bmw, and the left tire has to have air pumped into it once or twice a weak, and then it is good for about 5 days, then i have to do it again. I'm assuming this is a slow leak, and the tires are 400-500 dollars each, i think. I need to know if i'm able to fix this slow leak any other way. I really want to avoid buying a new tire if i can, since it is such a slow leak, nothing bad. Thanks!!

Being a '07, I'm sure that you have a ' road hazzard/ tread life ' warrentee included with a new car purchase. Call your dealership. =^ )

MOST TIRES THAT COME ON THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS NEW CARRY A MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND NOT A ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY.
CHECK WITH THE DEALER FIRST BUT IF THE TIRE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED CHECK AROUND BECAUSE RUN FLAT TIRES ARE DOUBLE THE PRICE OF REGULAR TIRES AND THE DEALER WILL LIKELY CHARGE YOU TRIPLE.
YOU CAN REPAIR THEM FROM WHAT I HAVE READ BUT MOST COMPANIES DO NOT HAVE THE HIGH PRICE MACHINERY TO DO THE JOB.
ALSO (FYI), THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THESE TIRES GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

Time to visit your local tire shop and ask them if it's repairable.
I can't see the hole from here......
