Please help! Location of tyre inflator for F10

[mikeg996]

I'm currently sitting in a lay by in Cambridgeshire with a flat tire, but I can't find the tyre inflator and foam. The manual says "under the boot floor" but having looked in the cubby under the floor there's nothing there. Is it somewhere else? It's hard to believe it's been taken as this was a brand new car.

Any help gratefully received!

I don't think they come with anything. As they have runflat tyres I don't think there is any tyre equipment as standard. Nothing in my F10 anyway.
Sorry!

Nothing provided as standard. You have to buy the kit separately. Chances are that if it was a sudden deflation, the tyre is cut and the foam will not work.
Perhaps drive it flat to where you are going.

Unless your tyre has blown out you should be fine to drive on the run flat for at least 50 miles, just call BMW assist and get them out to you.

UK market F10's are not factory fitted with any tyre inflation equipment or foam but are supplied with Runflat tyres. You can drive on flat for 50 miles with these, but you'll write the tyre off doing so. If possible, reinflate the tyre using a footpump or something first.

The reason why the manual says what it does is because our European friends are lucky enough not be given runflats as standard.

Thanks all, I managed to get through to BMW Emergency in the end and they advised the same. I drove it home, now trying to find a good source of run-flat replacements ASAP. Most of the usual suspects can't do it until next Thursday!

Just as a matter of interest the F10 M5 does come with a tyre inflator which is situated under the floor at the rear of the boot.

It doesn't have run flat tyres

I find it easier to be happy in F10 bliss if I pretend the M5 doesn't exist
