As I’ve recently changed to non run flats, I need to invest in a space saver wheel and a compressor. Don’t want to carry the space saver around, so looking for a compressor to stay in the boot. Have seen the BMW kit but it’s about £85, and from what I can see it’s not even digital it’s analogue. So is it really worth it? What has everyone else gone and bought. And where have you got hold of your space saver. I’ve got 18’s on so not going to be much of a space saver due to the brake set up.
 
I have a cheapo tesco one.. cost me £6 and two cans of tyre weld - again tesco cost £3 each. So £12 for the same effect if not better then the £85 bmw kit :roll:

If you want a space saver wheel then with the 3.0si front calipers you'll need 17" ones.
 
Cheers Srhutch that's th one I looked at. Just worried that it wouldn't fit in the cigarete lighter as my girlfriend has one I'm borrowing currently, and it doesn't fit, it keeps popping out. So hopefully if yours does mine should.
 
Ive got a spacesaver from a Jag (18" one so no probs), and a conti tyre inflator and weld kit as in Ford Focus ST's :thumbsup:

I have used it for real and worked fine, of course it was the last tyre I checked that had the puncture, and of course it was pissing down with rain at the time. :cry:
