Try pricing out a space saver tire first... then a steel wheel... and you will see that is a fair price. And don't forget steel wheel bolts too to fit the steel wheel! Note you need atleast a 17" wheel to clear teh front brakes on a 135i!
The 335i alloy mini spare sells for 300 euros over here. AND it is not DOT legal so BMW NA doesn't sell it in the states. I was lucky my (German)dealer had one instock and made me a sweet heart deal of 200 euros! The jack kit runs another 110 euros. The 335i alloy mini spare is really thin, less than 4 inches wide, so it doesn't take up THAT much space in my trunk.
Since it is alloy, you can use the same wheel bolts. With steel wheels you need a different bolt shoulder.
