Hi Alan, I, as do most Z4 owners, ditched my run flat tyres and bought a plug in tyre inflator and a can of Tyreweld.

Is it the lack of spare, or the run flats that bother you? Most modern BMWs have this affliction now, along with most manufacturers...

Hi Gary.. lve never had a car that hasnt got a spare wheel and l cant get my head around it.. currently considering a couple of cars up for sale near me, a 2005 Z4 3.0L manual with runflats but lm sure l could fit a spacesaver in the boot.. and a 2010 2.5L manual sdrive which has a tiny boot with the roof down but l just wondered if there was a spacesaver spare lurking under the floor?

My MC hasn't a spare wheel, or run flats. Only got caught out once in over 200K miles and RAC recovery sorted it.:)

No z4 comes with a spare as like said above most came with run flats so spare not required. No space to put it anyway.
My z3 has a space saver underneath but thats not really a whole lot of use either as if you get a flat not really got anywhere to put the road wheel bar the passenger seat (not really ideal)
And like also said above no spare is now becoming a common place thing on newer cars (no spare no jack or wheel key) partly because new motors have tyre pressure monitoring.
Personally I dont really agree with that because I dont really rate tyre sealants but thats just the way modern cars are now i suppose.
