I have had at least 2 instances of a large bolt penetrating the tyre which a can of goo would not fix.
I check the pressure fairly regularly and take the spare out at least twice a year for a clean and check over.

Definitely the Z3, I could have bought a Z3 or Z4 but chose the Z3 for it's better looks. Th new Z4 is an improvement but has grown too big and is claustrophobic inside with the top up. :)

The uneven handbrake is a common thing on BMWs. You just need to adjust the shoes in the rear drum equally. Jack up the back end, remove one wheel bolt and turn the wheel until you can see the star shaped adjuster inside, just aft of TDC. Turn this until the wheel is locked and then back off slightly.

Shock absorbers do not affect ride height, they are only to dampen the bump and rebound. The only way they could aafect it is if you have a mismatched pair with different spring seats. The ride height is governed by the springs.

I think it is good to keep the spare, a couple of years ago, in a country road in my E30, I heard a nasty banging from the rear. I had picked up a piece of iron bar about a quarter of an inch dia, (6 mil to those philistines who don't understand English).
No way would spray goo have fixed that. :)

Car canopy

Have you looked at the touchless car cover, WWW.touchless car cover.com.
I have one and it is great, £329 and you can fold it up and put it in its bag when not in use.
