FYI, Picture of Bimmerzone Spare In Trunk

Thought some of you might want to see how much room this tire takes up (see attached pic). Much less than I personally thought it would.

I just got a 228ix M Sport w/track package. So it's got both M brakes and staggered tires. Tried the spare on front and then rear and drove around the block each time. No problems. It's not cheap, but it's worth the peace of mind for me.

Good for the peace of mind I guess but I can't remember the last time I actually changes a flat on the side of the road, not sure if it's ever even happened in 15 years of driving.

Nope. But I only have it a few days and I usually have a few other things wedged in there. Took the other stuff out so people could see how much space it takes up.
