Likewise, I would never put that stuff in any of my tires. That's why I removed the goo canister from my M Roadster, my M4 and my wife's M3. Plug kit or AAA is a far better alternative. Also, only works on a tread puncture, not on a sidewall, but if you have one of those you need a tow anyway.
Also, the BMW goo has an expiration date on the canister. If it's too old it won't work anyway, so there goes any peace of mind that might give you. I doubt that anyone here has checked the date and actually replaced theirs with newer stuff!
