Is G80 supposed to come with a Jack and wrench to remove wheels?

New G80 owner. Just wondering if this vehicle is supposed to come with a Jack to raise the car in times of flat tire and wrench to remove the rims?

I'm assuming not since I don't see one lol. Just thought about this.

Negative. You are supposed to use the provided mobility kit. However, I heard once you use it, the tire may no longer be used and needs to be replaced. I opted to carry around a tire repair kit in the trunk (plugs).

Oh wow. No clue how to use that lmao. I need to buy a plug kit then… it seems it would be a pain to plug a nail though if you can't even get the wheel off!? What are you supposed to do plug it while the wheel is in place by bending down lmao. Is this what they want us to do? LOL

Below is the video on how to use the mobility kit:



With regards to a tire repair kit, I'd say for the front tire, rotate the wheel to expose the nail/puncture. For the rear, you'd have to move the card forward and back till you can see the nail/puncture near the bottom side of the bumper to access. Below is a helpful video from Tommy L:



Worst comes to worst, you can just use AAA or BMW road side service to get it fixed/towed to a tire shop haha.

I just realized that too. I feel like plugging it might take a while and if its winter here, Im Screwed. Its weird that they dont include spare tires anymore and this nasty tire repair kit ruins the tires. I might just by a spare tire from modernspare but worried about it being 18 inches and if our rears are 20, there might be a big difference between the tires

18 inch is only the rim diameter, outer rolling diameter of the tire is what matters.

It comes with a 135/70R18 tire, 25.5” Rolling Diameter compared to 26.6" on the m3... not sure what they're thinking.
