Run Flat tyre repair or replace question

In April I had four new Pirelli PZero run flats on my X3 M Sport

Today I found the head of a nail near the centre of the near side front tyre but in deep tread. I removed it and unfortunately it was relatively long and sharp. The tyre hasn't deflated (I checked the pressure) but I can see pin prick bubbles coming out very slowly if I hold a cup of water side on to the hole

So I need to do something. I'm under the impression I can't get Pirelli run flats repaired but please let me know. The sidewall hasn't been compromised. No noticeable deflation or tyre pressure warning as yet

If the view is that I cannot, then do I realistically need to change both front tyres regardless because of the 4x4 and rolling tyre circumference?

The tyres have had about 3K of wear in the 4 months since new

Any advice appreciated. Thanks
