Spare Tire Mobility Kit?

It says my Z4 comes with a Spare Tire Mobility Kit. I see the air compressor and the sealant and under the panel is just the battery.

Is the kit the compressor and sealant?

The E89 had run flats also. I swapped those for Michelin PSS and fretted also. I added a pump to my trunk and just forgot about it. Yes, you can always get stuck and need help. It's just a tradeoff for the better ride of non-RF tires. And, if you do travel far from home on occasion, BMW does sell a spare and tire. It just takes up so much room most folks don't want it. It's a straight up marketing call by BMW how to package and sell the vehicles, IMHO.

I did the spare

I had an E92 years ago with RFTs and got a flat 5 hours away from home with no spare. Never again. The spare isnt that big even with the BMW jack that I keep with it. Just have to use soft bags and pack the trunk around it. I aint waiting for a tow a 2AM on the LIE!
