At least here in the US, if you spec without a spare you automatically get the Mobility Kit. Here are a few images I just took to show how it fits neatly in the sub-cargo space off to the side and doesn't take up much room. I read the directions but have never used it (and hope to not have to)!

Hmm. My dealer says it comes with one. Odd. I'll be sure to check when I collect as it's gonna have a very long trip home.

Surely if non RFT they would be obliged to supply mobility kit?

Do you have something from dealer to say its free as i have been told its an extra that you can buy once you get car no option for one on options list on uk spec cars. If you dont pick the spare you dont get one. I have asked a few members on here on pm and all said they never got one either.

A will go back to my dealer again if you have something saying as am sure it should be there if not rft.

In the US it's definitely a free option.

Sorry that there was like 45 seconds before I started it, I can't seem to figure out how to trim it on YOUTube. It's just hard to beat the sound of a V8 and AMG and Mustangs both do a great job with exhaust.

The new S58 may be the baddest motor out there right now but they effed up on the exhaust.

I have 2VC on my spec sheet zero cost

Would it depend on tyre type?? I have MPS4s, I see some are on Conti's??
