Hi, since we are on the topic of RFTs, I have a question to ask.

I'm collecting my E90 this Sunday and will be ditching the stock rims and tires for 18 inchers.

Since the car does not carry a spare tyre, wld it make sense to carry a tyre patching kit instead?

The thought of being stuck somewhere ulu with a flat tire and not being able to do anything about does sound scary.

definitely is make sense to carry them,but anyone here try use therepair kit ?
still remeber it is only a temporary measure you need to bring them to your tyre shop to have a complete internal check and repair9and again BMW do not recommend repair) . to me the best is a spare tyre,i think some of this bimmer came with spare wheel oredi.
