Incase of puncture??

You should have a proper BMW emergency pack should you not? If not, stick a can of gunge in the boot but these are only good enough for a pin prick puncture nothing else.
The Z4's boot is surprisingly large so a spare or space saver would fit.
Lastly, join one of the emergency outfits & get them to rescue you if & when needed.
Sorry, can't be any more helpful than the above.

In the boot of my Zed there resides the following:-.
Lock nut.
Wheel Brace
Wheel Jack
Puncher Repair Kit
Compressor
If it's just a nail then you can fix it side of road a drive on.
Can of instant fix glue (Wrecks your tyre), but you can drive to the garage and get a new one.
In my pocket I have:-
Britannia rescue card.
Mobile Phone.
These I used when my tyre blew big time this summer. Took two weeks to get a new PSS delivered from Holland and fitted locally. Missed the SW run.

The following are necessary and take up almost no space in the car: Cell phone, credit card, auto club membership. I do have a tiny 12V air compressor as well. I am still running RunFlats, but intend to switch to conventional tyres next spring.

I keep slime in the boot as recommended on here when I asked and allegedly it doesn't kill the tyre. Its pretty cheap from ECP (£24.99) plus I have my trusty AA card

That's the same one I have. Which I believe is one use and new tyre needed. But better than Nout. :wink:

Above Link is the repair kit I have. Never used it but the instructions are straight forward.

I have this in all car tyres. It protects against punctures through screws, nails etc. It won't protect against a sidewall blowout but gives peace of mind that small punctures are handled. As a bonus it's water-based (so easily washed out if you need to switch wheels), seals small leaks and apparently also conditions the tyres (although I'm sceptical on the last one...)
I also have a continental tyre compressor and sealant as backup... belt & braces approach.

Not repaired no. Wouldn't let an out fit like that fix my tyre. That's where I buy my new ones. :? :wink:
