Replacing RFT's

Post by SPI » Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:00 pm

Hi,

After reading numerous threads on here have decided to move from RFT to normal tyres, so will need something to deal with a dreaded punctuer.
My question is about the to different between BMW Genuine Tyre Inflation Compressor Mobility Kit and the BMW Genuine M-Mobility System?

BMW Genuine Tyre Inflation Compressor Mobility Kit seems to have everything you would need.

BMW Genuine M-Mobility System seems to be just the compressor and then you have to buy a M-Mobility System Tyre Sealer

A few threads have recommended the M-Mobility System, what are the advantages?
Do they do a complete M-Mobility System kit like the Tyre Inflation Compressor Mobility Kit ?
Or any other suggestions?

I went with a cheap as chips 12v pump to keep in the boot with a tin of sealant at about £20 all in, I haven't used either in last 8 years (which reminds me that the sealant probably needs renewing :oops: ).

I'd just buy some Holts Tyre-Weld and a cheap compressor - if they can't cope I can't see an M-Mobility System doing any better!

If you don't want to rely on that get an E46 space-saver, jack and wheel-brace - but be prepared to lose more than 50% of the boot.

And/or join the AA/RAC, etc. as a last resort/back-up.
