Never either, around town I’ve gotten a flat, but family brings a spare wheel and jack if I need it.

On longer trips, especially driving into the night, I wouldn’t want to rely on a small air pump or fix a flat can. They’re good if your tire has a constant leak and you’re not able to get it repaired right away, but they can’t fix large holes.

The oem 5 series spare with the kit in the foam doesn’t take up much space for daily driving.
