From the exterior, and without taking the tire off, all looks fine. I知 just not aware of any internal damage to bead area.

It was a polite way of saying send it. That's barely a scratch.

Replace the tire and get the wheel repaired.

I don't mess around with any type of sidewall damage. While most people would feel it's safe, I wouldn't run a plugged tire on track either. A new tire is much cheaper than a new tire, wheel, rotor, suspension, and whatever else gets damaged when the tire fails on track.

Agreed. Tires have both been replaced. And I知 pleased to find out that integrity of the rim was cleared by BMW today. And on Monday I値l be taking them to get resurfaced for aesthetics.
