Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juan Powerblow" data-source="post: 612206" data-attributes="member: 20">Had a self induced flat at the rear tyre of my F10 today whilst travelling back from Sepang F1. Self induced meaning I over emptied the tyre pressure with the aim of re-pressurising at the Petronas pump. Loud explosion ensued, the pump hose blew up! Couldn't re-pressure, and feared the prospect of a flat in the middle of no-where. Fortunately, that Petronas had another pump about 50 metres away (and luckily, it was working). Mourned the fact that I had switched to non-RFTs when I changed to M Sports 350M rims. Then realised my RCZ comes with Conti mobility kit FOC including electronic pump. With BMW, you switch to non-RFTs, you're basicly screwed. The BMW mobility kit costs a bewildering RM750. So, this is just another instance, you want more, it hurts your wallet, heh <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />The only consolation though, I was caught in a supercar convoy with R35s, F430s, 911s etc, and having just past the 2,000 kms run in period, I could floor the F10 for the first time! Combination of twin power turbo, 8 gears in DS Mode and Sports+, the F10 felt really sweet, constantly on the "sweet spot" even in the lower state of tune (520i). My E92 in 323i form could never feel so racy. Made my day.</blockquote>
