Keep in mind that after you seal the tyre you need to pump it up...

I got the BMW mobility kit, was a tad expensive but comes with sealant and a compressor that plugs into the lighter in a nice non-slip bag that fits above the battery. Also has a bunch of fittings for valve removal and adapters so you can pump up soccer balls and the like.

I also got the BMW jack kit, fits under the boot floor panel. Has a torque wrench for tightening / loosening the wheel nuts so you never have to worry about over / under tightening the nuts and the jack has been useful for the times I've wanted / needed to remove wheels etc.

I'd be in as well if it works out cheaper than buying individually obviously

I bought the Slime kit - LIKE THIS! - which cost me $70 from Repco. Inflates on its own or you can add in the Slime. Standard wheelbrace and basic jack can be had for $40 from an autoaccessory store.

Space Grey same as in the picture attached though i didn't go for the poof red interior.

Anyway it doesn't matter as there is none in stock and there is NO ETA . I was thinking of the super silver which would be close to the stock 19's i have now but even they are out till sept....

i will wait a couple of weeks and look again.

Sorry chaps i tries to reply via the iphone app but something went wrong.

What i meant to say was yes thats the one i was looking at to buy and i was even considering getting one for the wife. I wasn't going to bother with the wheel brace and jack though, my understanding is with the slime kit you simply plug it onto the valve and press the big green button and drive away, no need to remove the tire.

And for those that have the BMW Mobility kit, just a reminder that the slime that comes with the kit has a "use by" date. Mine has just reached the date so I'll get a replacement when I next pass the dealer. I think it's about $15
