Can anyone recommend a good powerful tyre inflator for my car as my old one has just gone bang?

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I’ve been really happy with a Ryobi R18I-0 18V, digital and quiet. Also have a bmw mobily kit in the boot but that 12V compressor probably won’t last if used regularly.

Ive got a RING compressor in my cars. They seem to work well and have a "screw on" connection - They are also slim enough to slot away in and around the battery area in an E89

That can't be just me that finds that funny, surely? :)

I have a couple of the Ring compressors, but to be honest, the other week I was in a hurry and grabbed the bike pump off the shelf. One of those high capacity, tall, standup ones with the T-handle you push up and down. It only took a few pumps and I was finished before I would have had the compressor unravelled and plugged in.
Ideal for a quick top up, but probably back-breaking on a flat.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I've probably got at least one 12v in the back of each car and a mains-powered one at home - usually Ring RAC820 or Goodyear version, BMW/Conti Mobility Kit.

The ContiMobility one is not much different to the BMW one, but only £35. Never had to use anything other than the pumps to top up a slow puncture until I could get to a garage though!

If you're looking for a cordless one, keep an eye on this...

I've got one and it's great, but doesn't seem to be for sale anymore, so this might be your last chance
