This is my first BMW and first experience with RFT. Are RFTs really that sensitive?

Well, whoever told you that is (excuse my language) absolute crap
. If you get a flat, it's made to run on that tire for at least another 50 miles and should keep your wheel protected. Theoretically (someone correct me if I'm wrong) run-flats are
less prone to blow outs so, another protection for your wheel.
Regarding your question, if they're really that sensitive, I don't think so, however, if you get a nail, metal, or some other debris that punctures the tire you'll be
SOL and need a flat out replacement (which is what happened to me
3 consecutive times). Our European friends might want to look that one up but it I'm trying to keep the language clean.
