[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 291042, member: 4527"] If u still running on RFT, yet u bought the mobility kit, BMW will be both disappointed and glad. Disappointed because your have no confidence in their brilliant RFT technology, glad because they get to make extra profit from u by selling u the RFT technology and puncture repair kit where u only need either.. :D They were hoping u would buy a spare wheel and car jack kit.. :D But I believe u have plan for non-RFT, which the mobility kit can become handy but David is right, there's no chance for u to use it. The only scenario you need to use the mobility kit is when: 1. You use non-RFT tubeless tyre, AND 2. A sharp object has punctured your tyre, AND 3. The RFT alarm fail or the sharp object has been removed, thus no longer blocking the leak. You must add 1+2+3 = FLAT tyre. That's when you are left with still 2 choices: 1. Call for Emergency Road Assist and wait for an hour OR 2. Bring out your Mobility Kit and risk yourself fixing a leak on the highway emergency lane. Seriously, I have not faced with the above situation all my entire motoring life of more than 2 decades What is the chance? (touch wood) AAM also no business ah! Other alternatives: ~ Bicycle step pump retailing at RM9.90 available at hypermarket ~ 12V DC pump retailing at RM25.90, with build in pressure gauge, available at hypermarket. ~ A good European 12V DC pump comes in nice canvas casing is retailing at RM130, with build in pressure gauge. A friend is selling this. ~ A can of pressurised tyre repair sealant that will both fill up the puncture and inject sealant are retailing at about RM25-RM40 per can for a single usage. But keeping an aerosol can of such sealant in the car boot in Malaysian weather may not be a good idea.. :rolleyes: The BMW Mobility Kit comes with a 750ml sealant, can use for very very long.. :D Hope by the time u need it, its not harden like those plaster in the first aid kit, keep too long, cannot stick lio.. :D [/QUOTE]
