My M2 flat repair kit saves the day

And the day it saved was my neighbor who just purchased a new civic.

One week of ownership and he picked up a nail. Of course I would never subject him to the indignity of fixing his flat with that foam-fill fluid BMW provides.

Given I assembled a proper flat-repair kit for my G87, I had the chance of putting it to good use.

Works like a charm.

I like that little high quality Vivair compressor. Did you pick that unit up from the TireRack... ?

I picked everything up on Amazon. It is indeed a great compressor.

I also tossed in a set of pliers, and a couple of screwdrivers to assist in pulling out nails and screws.

Just want to say thanks for posting this. Gives me some ideas on building my own emergency kit. I'm going to ditch the RF tires so thinking about the essentials.
