M Mobility System
Repairing a flat tire
To repair a flat tire, an M Mobility System is pro-
vided in your BMW Z4 M Roadster/Z4 M Coupe.
Using this system you can apply a sealant to the
inside of the tire, seal off the damaged area,
restore the tire inflation pressure and then con-
tinue driving.
Safety measures in the event of a flat:
Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
Lock the steering wheel so that the wheels are
facing straight ahead. Apply the parking brake
and engage first or reverse gear. Have all vehi-
cle occupants get out of the vehicle and ensure
that they remain outside the immediate area in a
safe place, such as behind a guardrail.

cle. Comply with all national safety guidelines
and regulations.<
Preparation

have penetrated the tire.
