Compact Spare Tire Kit for X5 M50i
I made the mistake of not checking the box for the $150 compact spare tire kit for my new X5 M50i. A recommendation as to where I can purchase one online that is certain to fit would appreciated.

Expensive mistake on my part. By not ordering the compact spare, I actually thought I was receiving a full size spare and opting out of the compact spare, LOL. |

Does anyone know if this is a viable option (just found it)?

I haven’t tried this kit but did see it. If you have the M Sport brakes I wouldn’t get it though. The wheel is 18”, which won’t fit around the brakes. The solution they sell is a massive spacer that pushes the spare wheel far enough out that it won’t touch the brakes. This will require really long bolts, and will mean that the contact patch of the wheel is really far away from the wheel hub. As a casual student of physics this worries me, because it increases the chances of failure - and I fear that it could allow the joint where the hub connects to the drive axel to bend beyond spec. I may be paranoid, but I don’t get a good feeling from it.
If you do get this kit for a car with the m sport brakes, I would recommend using it only as last resort, and only at very low speed to get you directly to the nearest garage or tire shop. Just my 2 cents. |

That standard compact spare fits over the MSport brakes with no problem. The spare mentioned in the "kit" appears to be the same so there would be no problem with MSport brakes. Edit: For clarity, I'm referring to the spare in the kit that matthewk put together not the third party one mentioned. Edit 2: The wheel in his package is not correct, it should be 36-11-6-880-744 Last edited by TurtleBoy; 07-04-2020 at 01:38 PM.. |

The OEM spare is 19" and clears the M Sport brakes.
The spare which is stored under the cargo area under the cargo floor panel and doesn't impact G05 rear cargo space.

Did you have a flat or were you just practicing? Or I guess they could be pictures of someone else's vehicle.

Pirelli covered the replacement tire under warranty since it was 10K miles.

Try this wheel: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...-2-36116880744
You’ll need the 19” diameter. Any BMW salespersons our there who want to order a bunch of stock vehicles with the spare wheel option and then sell them at a dealership profit? |

I wish I had known this when ordering the car. My dumb sales person told me with a really sad and disappointed face that "yeah if you order that spare kit then it will cause a bump in your trunk" and I took him for his word and didn't order it and regret it ever since!

So after reading through this thread, can I safely assume that the OEM $150 "space-saver spare" option when ordering WILL fit over the M sport brakes, and will not cause any issues with the cargo space?

You are correct. It will fit over the M Sport Brakes and will not cause a bump in the trunk.
