MY 2023 owners

I can't seem to find the mobility kit typically included with our cars. The goo and air pump used to temporarily patch a flat since BMW can't be bothered to give us a proper spare tire any more.

Am I just missing it, or is it no longer supplied?

My understanding is that it's no longer supplied.
I base that on never having seen it as an option, and the car parts sites have it all as discontinued (even amazon)

I never got one on my 2018

If your bmw came with Run flats tires…no need for mobility kit. If you do get a mobility kit with your BMW…99.9% probability that you have regular performance tires that are NOT run flats.

Swapped tires for proper rubber when I bought my 2019 540i, Amazon has a mobility kit, from memory called Slime that doesn't break the bank and comes as a nice kit that fits to the little storage box on the side of the trunk, maybe check that out?

I actually do have a Slime kit somewhere, although the "goo" has "expired" it probably still works fine. Thanks for the reminder.

Qsilver7: Good point. However, my 2023 came with Continental SSR MOE tires, which research on TireRack tells me are actually not runflat tires, but extended mobility tires. No guarantee, promise or implication that I can get anywhere on them with no air.

I'm going to get a real spare tire kit, because if I'm 300 miles from home with a ruined tire, in a size that no one stocks (because BMW) I'd like to at least have a fighting chance of getting out of there.

If you need an inexpensive "mobility kit", Consumer Reports tested a bunch a couple years back and this one was highly rated:

Pretty inexpensive if you are in need of one.
