The only way you are going to get a space-saving spare for less is to find a wrecked 550i out there and grab its spare.

I tried look for 2004+ 5 series on junkyards and had no luck everywhere. doubt I'll find a 2008+ 550i out on the wrecked lot. Good to know the 550i spare works.

When was the last time you had a blow out?
I occaisionally pick up a screw or nail. When I notice them, I get them fixed.
No way am I lugging around a jack & tire...
JMHO

I was always afraid to drive around with a puncture on the tire.
