How long can you drive with this fix?
My wife would be the main driver for the F10 550i and I may buy her this kit since it looks easy to do. My wife is a petite woman so she won't be able to do any tire fixing if there is a flat.

Yes, it should work fine with the RFT. According to the SLiME web site, the product is guaranteed for two years, at which point it needs to be replaced or the tire repaired. That's not too bad! It has a four year shelf life. However, they go on to say: "we only recommend using SLiME as a repair and recommend that after use the tire be checked to ensure stable air pressure. The tire should be inspected as soon as possible by a tire care professional to determine the need for a permanent repair or replacement."
The TPMS sensor may become inoperative but once cleaned (with water) of the SLiME product it will be fine, or so they claim.
Fortunately, I've never had to use it, but I have a kit in the car and one on the motorcycle. Can't patch bike tires. Well, you "can" but you shouldn't.
