Has anyone actually used it in anger?
Does it work?
Did it seal the puncture?
Any experiences of it welcome. Thank you.

Re: BMW mobility kit (gunk + inflator)
I've used it before, got me out of the situation but mad such a mess of the insides of the tyre that I couldn't get it repaired
Re: BMW mobility kit (gunk + inflator)
Yeah I get the mess it creates, but I'm looking for a solution to the whole run flat vs no run flats , no spare scenario.
It sounds like the gunk does work then, and shouldn't leave me stranded on the side of the road.

Re: BMW mobility kit (gunk + inflator)
One other option is to install 'Puncturesafe' into the tyres. I used to use its previous version in the motorbike tyres as it can save your life. It is something that the Caravan Club used to recommend and some Ambulance/Police services used. It had two punctures in a rear motorbike tyre which both got controlled by this stuff so I know it works.
It's a water based fluid that you add in to a deflated wheel, pump back up again and go for a 20 minute drive. That spreads it around the inside as a coating. No effect on tyre/wheel balance. If you get a puncture it oozes out and sets.
Being water based it just wipes away so tyres can be repaired. Allegedly it extends the life of the tyres too, but I have nothing to support that, and motorcycle rear tyres don't last much more than 6-7,000 miles at best - unless you like the exposed cord look
It's not cheap though, and these cars need a lot because of the wheel sizes. It was about £40 for a car.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.Re: BMW mobility kit (gunk + inflator)
Now the sounds like a good alternative, prevention rather than cure !?!?!
