So you keep a battery powered air compressor in your car for emergencies? Why not just get a 12V air compressor?

Tow
Yes, once; my State Farm insurance covers towing; made contact with a curb and cut the sidewall of my RR tire and created minor OZ Superleggera rim damage (that was perfectly repaired as well); Z4M's cannot be towed, but must be on a flatbed tow truck; taken to my Discount Tire and replaced both rear tires due to tire wear ratios that require both tires being replaced; the flatbed process was relatively easy; PLEASE ENSURE YOUR TOW EYE HOOK THAT IS LOCATED IN THE BMW TOOL KIT IS IN YOUR VEHICLE; IT SCREWS INTO THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE BUMPER IN A THREADED LOCATION THAT IS BEHIND THE SMALL OVAL-ISH COSMETIC COVER ON THE BUMPER.

Several years ago there was a post about the correct way to tow a Z4, which was use a flatbed tow truck and special tie-down hooks (t-hooks) that mounted into slots in the frame under the jack pads. The jack pads have to be removed to reveal the frame slots, which is what the jack pads mount into.
I searched for the post and found it. It's from March, 2013: https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthr...light=tow+hook The post that first mentions the tie-down hooks is post #9. The link for the company that sold the hooks, AW Direct, which is a company that supplies the towing industry, is in post #13. I ordered some from that company but it appears that they've been bought out by or merged with another company called Zip's, and the website has changed so that link no longer works. The closest t-hook that I could find that is similar to the ones that I bought is this one: https://zips.com/parts-detail/all-gr...de-70-ws-19764. In the other thread, post #14 has a link to a similar t-hook available from Summit Racing which has an additional ring on it. Zip's/AW Direct also sells a similar t-hook with a ring. I also have a post in this thread that describes how the jack pads are mounted, post #18.
