A couple of questions. I don't have a jack. Is this normal? I don't have a spare. Is this normal? What is the score here? Call a towing in the middle
of the country. Is it suggested to put the car on blocks for the winter? If the car has a slow leak in a tyre (tire) how does the spray cover all the
inside of the tyre? We must rotate it? Dumb aren't I?

Hi mate. If you've got a Z3 you should have all the kit you need in the boot (trunk). Jack, wheel chock, wheel brace etc so no, not normal. Again, you should have a spare space saver wheel under the car in a plastic cradle which in turn is in a metal frame. This is lowered from inside the boot. This applies to all Z3's less the Z3MR that has a tyre sealant kit (no space saver due to the quad exhaust). No need to rotate the wheel once tyre puncture foam has been applied. No need to put on blocks for winter, just inflate your tyres up (there's a page in the owners manual ref winter storage).

Can I add that I have a roadster Z3 M. Is there a connection here? Therefore I have no spare because I need the room for the
quad exhaust, right. About the tyre pressure is 52psi normal for inflation in the winter (storage)?
I've looked for the kit but can't find the access. The walls of my trunk is covered in a carpet like material. Is this okay?
So should I install a spare tyre and a jack or a flat tyre kit?

Hi mate. As you have a Z3M you just a flat tyre kit is the norm, this is how they came from the factory. The carpet is also the norm. Not sure about the pressure but I shouldn't think it would be to far off.

Hi Yes I have. A battery, a tool kit and a jack molded cover but no jack. On my right there is this compressed tissue about 3 mill thick but it is held back by a floor like bowl with a bolt in the bottom. It's jammed. I've sprayed it and so I will wait until tomorrow.I believe once I can get this bolt off I will be able to remove the bowl and the cover will follow. Hope that trap door is there.
Thanks for the information Andyglym and Miller. Makes me more at ease with what I've got.

10.15 here in the UK. We're 5 hrs in front of the USA/Canada. Sometimes it helps to upload pictures if you can as even between English speaking countries detail can be lost in translation Guy.
