Tyre Pump
Hey guys, who can recommend a good tyre pump powered by the cigar lighter. There are a load on Amazon but does the Z4 Oracle have any specific recommendations please?

If you look on eBay at this item number 231356136845
It's sold as a 'Goodyear' product but I have my doubts they actually make it, bought mine from Costco one day, not cheap but a pukka piece of kit, well made, heavy & pumps pressure into the tyre really quickly. Don't bother with any cheap'n'cheerful £10 one's, pay a bit more & it'll last ages, I'm well chuffed!
Hope this helps.

I'll just use (never had to though) the one included in my BMW Mobility kit that came with the Ms.
You can buy the kit from BMW (which includes tyre foam to seal leaks), but it's about £90.
However, I've recently been looking at a spare one for the Alfa, and came upon a fairly recent AutoExpress group test.
Seems that Ring do compressors for all budgets - personally I fancy the RAC900, but I think it'll be the cheaper RAC600 for the Alfa.

I assumed they all had a pump fitted as standard. You live and learn.mmm-five wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2017 4:24 pm I'll just use (never had to though) the one included in my BMW Mobility kit that came with the Ms.

I have the slime kit, fits nicely in the space behind the battery.

All the Ring ones seem to get very poor reviews in terms of reliability

I have Slime kits in the E86 and E30. The pumps seem to do what they are supposed to, but a bit slow and noisy.MJJamieson wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2017 2:10 pm image.jpeg

I did a bit of research on the same, came across this review and went for the Michelin with storage bag - seems good to me but haven't tested the accuracy as yet
