Take the flat tyre to a tyre shop and have it repaired there as believe or not , puncture repair requires the correct tools and procedure for safety. As for the rest a good workshop manual should have that information or get a service hand book from the dealer service centre.

Does it vibrate all the time at 60 or only when you apply the brake?

Car maint service at 60,000 miles

first answer is the easiest to answer
brake pad comes in 3 compositions
hard for extreme brake work --taxi applications
intermediate --for every day drivers and conservative brake applications
soft for high speed stops and braking as in race cars
The dust generated is in direct ratio to your driving habits and brake applications at 60,000 miles it should not be necessary to replace chains but tensioner and wear pads may need adjustment
get reputable brake professional shops to do the brakes as there may e a need to machine the disc rotors before fitting new pads
That makes quoting from here difficult to do as an inspection is required first
Find accredited service shops with experience on BMW cars and get service quotes but I would expect the account to be around $1000.00 aud for the service as it is a big service and should include all fluid changes , Brakes , transmission , diff , coolant, power steering
suspension checks , fault code readings , possible plugs and leads
It will all be in the service schedule book

Vibration in steering when brakes applied

It is possible that there are some loose links on the suspension or the steering section.
So an under inspection is needed to check for any damage to the suspension or the steering.
tighten the bolts holding the steering links, the balance rods, the wheel hubs , the front suspension.
Also check the wheel balancing, the brake discs and the wheel bearings( bearing assembly) as this can cause the same fault.

I get a vibration in my stearing wheel when i press on my breaks when going above 60mph.

From what you have described the disc rotors on the vehicle are distorted and could be fairly badly distorted if they have been subjected to excessive temperatures at any time.

This will translate into a pulsation in the brake pedal - especially noticeable when you brake at speeds above about 40mph. At 60 mph - as you found - you cannot miss it. At higher speeds you will also get some vibration through the steering wheel once you brake.

The disc rotors will need to be examined and removed from the car for machining or total replacement. They may be too worn or distorted for machining as the manufacturers specify a minimum safe disc rotor thickness. Disc rotors don't last the life of the car and replacing them is a fairly routine exercise and not usually expensive except on many European cars and on many prestige brands.
The brake pads should also be replaced at the same time unless replaced recently and have minimal wear. The operation of the brake calipers should also be checked.

If you had a wheel balance problem on the car (rectified with a decent re-balance of both front wheels) you would find a constant vibration through the steering wheel at a given speed usually above about 45mph. What you have complained of is vibration only upon braking plus a pulsation through the brake pedal whilst braking.
However if you are also noticing a constant vibration through the steering wheel at or above a given speed when cruising you need to have the front wheels re-balanced and the front suspension and steering checked for problems.
If you have uneven tyre wear you will also need to have the front wheels re-aligned. If a front wheel alignment was not done on the car in the last 12000 miles it will need a wheel alignment in any event.

Cheers
Sean

Vibrating

1. The wheels are not balanced. (Go for wheel balancing and alignment)

2. Check your brake system (pads etc)

Good luck.

Inspection light on

The green bar is the service indicator bar. The bar shoulld decrease every 1500/2000 km to indicate still how far you can drive before the next service. It will evetually change to yellow and then red. This means the service is overdue. When my 1995 318 went for a service the dealer reset the indicators to full green bars. A week later the bar was in the red. Some computers are prone to this fault due to low ore loss of battery power. Just make sure the physical km of your inspection is still maintained. BMW SERVICE RESET Take a small wire, paperclip, or elect wire and bend like a horseshoe. No light or equipment necessary Open the diagnostic data port, the one were the little pacman centre is located. Turn the ignition to position 2, don?t start. Connect pin7 always first and then pin 19. Hold for 4 seconds. Remove wire and settings will be reset. Warning if you hold the wire longer than 10 seconds you may reset inspection intervals 1 and 2. I?ve done this twice and it definitely work on my E36

Frontend problem

that sounds like the pressure regulator of your brakes is broken. The pressure does not release from the left side.
Unless it is the calliper, but i think you already checked that out. Pressure regulator is the main cause for problems like this.
It regulates pressure between back and front side
