2004 Z4 with no Spare???

slpernie · 06-13-2008, 03:15 PM

I just bought an 2004 Z4 2.5i with run flats. Im thinking about selling the summer run flats and buying a rim and tire set but the trunk is too small for a spare.

How many people drive their rides without a spare and if the car gets a flat how do you get it home? Thanks for your responses/ideas.

Z4s dont have a spare. When I am done with my RFTs (another year or 2) I'm going to get Potenzas and buy the M-Mobility kit like the Z4M has.
Why didnt you buy my Z4

I dont have a spare and I got rid of the run flats as soon as they wore out and got regular tires. As long as you dont take too long of a trip you should be fine. I live in Socal and driven to frisco and LV a couple of times

Yep, pretty common - I drove my Z4 for over 2 years with regular tires and no spare, but I also added the Mobility Kit.
