Flat tire?

I am new on this site. I will likely be trading my 328i for Z4 30i in the very near future. My one concern is the lack run flat tire options and no spare tire that I can see. I know run flats are not very popular but it beats being stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat.

Thanks

Comes with a tire inflation kit and roadside assistance.

There are some who are carrying a spare in the trunk.

I just had to have a tire fixed a few days ago. I heard a 'tick tick tick' sound when driving and I"m pretty good at knowing whether it's a stone or screw. I knew this one sounded like a screw and luckily it was in the middle of the tread. Also lucky I lost no tire pressure, but I wanted it fixed asap before that happened. The dealership fixed it for free. That filler can I'll keep for extreme emergency only.

I'm glad the Z4 comes with just the flat repair kit; a spare would take up too much room IMO and, in my experience, flats are uncommon enough that it's not worth hauling a spare.....the flat repair kit should work most of the time and I'm almost always in cell coverage area.

Runflats perform poorly and I wouldn't run them on a sportscar.

2 cents,
Dave

Here is your solution

Bought this a week after I took delivery. Its available online mounted, balanced and ready to go. Still plenty of room in the new larger trunk for soft bags to be packed around and inside the rim.

Too risky to me to drive far with no spare. The mobility kit is basically useless.
