space saver spare Bimmerzone

sydpete · 12-02-2018, 10:39 PM

Hi all,

New to the BMW world - just got a M3 Comp.

Super happy with car but just trying to work out a space saver spare tyre solution as i do some kms out of city and don't want to be stranded in a remote location and wait hours for tow! i know it comes with repair kit but sometimes that doesn't solve the problem if its a big cut.

I've seen this mentioned on the Bimmerpost on the int'l forums:
http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-F80-KIT.html

Has anyone ordered one or had experience with it? just want to get feedback before i buy.

Or has anyone sourced a Oz based solution?

Thanks!

it's a good idea to have one, and pack it on long trips

i'd try the dealer to buy a space saver as a spare part off another non-M vehicle - i'd assume it's just a generic space saver for f30

otherwise just jump on ebay and buy a single bmw wheel and make your own spare

yes, i thought it would be a good backup plan to have one as i don't really want to wait hours for a tow.

Might try to speak to BMW and work out if i can buy parts to make up the kit.

Still can't believe they don't have it as an option to purchase separately!
