BMW Mobility Kit

[Pip1968]

I just thought I would go for the gay post of the week award. In short I know that BMW have expiry dates on the mobility kit but I had one left over from my old 1999 e39 M5 sat in the garage and thought I would give it a go.

I have a wheel barrow on which the tyre is getting a little old and so every time I use it it needs the tyre pumped up. So I connected the BMW mobility kit to it and it is now permanently sat at 35 psi and I can practise my reaction to oversteer.

Anyway whilst it was not a CSL tyre/wheel I am sure that the liquid is just as efficacious after fifteen years as that replaced under the three/five BMW servicing schedule.

Actually it is just a container of goo that is held in the round bomb proof part of the packaging kit rather than anything more complicated. Does anyone know if they just replace this on expiry or the whole unit - ???

You can buy the container of goo on it's own, it comes with a brand new expiry sticker to stick over the old one on the compressor :gayfight:

I got one recently as part of an Inspection 1, Menzies BMW gave me the new canister on its own. I haven't changed it so reassuring to know the old stuff should still work because I've nowhere to keep the new one in the car. It's sat in my garage.
