M Mobility system  
You will find an M Mobility system in the  
BMW M3 for repairing flat tires. With  
this system you can apply a sealing liq-  
uid to the inside of the tire that seals off  
the damaged point and then continue  
driving.  
The M Mobility system makes trans-  
porting a spare wheel superfluous,  
thereby reducing the amount of weight  
you have to carry around.

bottle in the system's sealant con-  
tainer has to be changed every 3 years
