A run-flat tire is a pneumatic vehicle tire that is designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, and to enable the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds (up to 90 km/h or 55 mph), and for limited distances of up to 100 miles (160 km), or even 200 miles (320 km) depending on the type of tire.

Some BMW's are fitted with 'run-flat' tires. If it is, it is not provide/sold with a spare tire because the 'run-flats' will allow you to do 90 miles on a flat and this will be enough to allow you to drive to a garage and have the tire replaced (they can not be mended). In other words your BMW may not have a spare tire.

What is the difference between 14 ply tires and no flat tires in regard to trailer tires?
The ply of a tire is independent of whether it is run-flat. There are many different run-flat technologies but most deal with some sort of "self -healing" gel liner or coating. The ply of a tire can make a difference in whether the sidewalls of a tire could stand up tall enough for you to drive off but that's not considered run flat and is coincidental to each tire and could only be estimated by doing it. Which i wouldn't if you value the sidewall.
Can run flat tires be replaced with conventional tire?
Cars that use run-flat tires don't have a spare tire. But there's no other reason you can't switch to regular tires. Best thing to do is learn how to plug a nail hole and carry a can of fix-a-flat or a small compressed air cylinder that you can use to re-inflate the tire should you encounter a flat. Or if you have CAA or AAA you can call and have them fix it.
