Also, the well in the trunk of the e82 has the battery in it, and will not accommodate the donut spare. You guys might be better off with the M Mobility Kit, which the M cars have, in combination with having non-runflats.
Larry, I know the 'donut' is concave in shape, was there any way to mount it "backwards" so that it didn't have to wrap around the brakes? I'm not sure if that would cause it to stick out too far and rub the fender?

I knew it wouldn't fit in the well of the 135 but (if it would actually clear the brakes/fender) I figured I would just keep it in the trunk on long trips. If there's no way to get it to fit the hub though, I guess that's a moot point.
