Its hard to tell but it looks like there is almost no tread on that tire, ifs that the case can't be surprised it failed like that.

I added air into tyre and drove the car back to dealer. We never figured out why the tyre empted during night.
Other example is from Finnish BMW forum, this picture shows that "puncture" with RF tyre does not always mean you can drive to nearest service station:
