Nice but you need a drop and spacers.

Of course! Spacers on the way. Will hold off on drop until there are more options. Gap looks larger with the skinny wheel/tire.

Flat insurance
In addition to the compact spare I take on trips, I always carry a plug kit and jack that can be used with the stock MMobility compressor for small punctures. The underfloor trunk well holds quite a bit of small stuff like this.

Sorry - yes, it will fit depending on how much other stuff you have in there. Likely you can put some luggage, etc. in the back seat, or fold the seat backs down if you need to. I have carried all four wheels and tires with the seats folded down.

Jus crazy Bmw doesn't supply spare wheels anymore !
& Worst is they don't leave space in boot so spare can sit without losing boot space !! |

It is a trade-off. With the M exhaust, they can't put the spare where it would conventionally go and if they put a spare in the trunk (boot) their would be no luggage space. BMW obviously figures that their buyers would rather have trunk space than a spare tire. ///M cars have been without a spare for a long time.

If we have CCB we are probably hosed? Since a 19 is needed to clear the calipers?
But I wonder.. would a 17 or 18 fit on one of the rear wheels and still clear CCB calipers ? You could swap wheels temporarily, rear to front, then spare on rear.. if you really needed to. |

I really don't think it needs securing as long as the rear seats are up. However, you can use bungees or tie downs crossed from the front tie down loops to those in the rear.
