Re: Tyreweld v Mobility kit

Well I finally bought the BMW/Mini mobility kit :D Nice and compact in size in a zip up bag... lets hope I never need to use it other than to top up pressures. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

Re: I've recovered my seats-with pics.

Hi tg184 The material I got came from a BMW main dealer, Specialist cars in Stevenage but any BMW main agent should be able to source it. It was held in Germany and was ordered in, took about 5 days.

I suppose it is true to say that the size of the damaged tyre that you remove will always be a problem though. ^^ This. Where is it supposed to go? On your passenger's lap!?

The only Z3 that remotely interests me is the Z3M Coupe because it's appealingly barmy. As a general rule, I find the (1st generation) Z4 a much more appealing car in both roadster and coupe form to the Z3. But none of them are comparable to a Z1, which is simply a different sort of car to all BMW'...
