It didn't fit the 1M (as some of you already knew), but I wanted to find out by myself.
An 1M 19" wheel is now serving the purpose as spare wheel.

I do not know if you saw my other thread this past June when I got a flat in my 135i(while at the Historic races at Nurburgring) and used my 17" alloy mini spare(in the above photos)... The way my car drove with that mini spare scared the crap out of me! The back end just shakes and fish-tails - even without getting on the power. It was prue hell having to drive only 80 kph on the autobahn and in traffic with the back end wiggling and wagging all the way.
As soon as I got back home I bought a spare 17" full size spare and now I tug that along in my trunk. A full size spare is the only option in my book. I never want to be stuck with a mini space saver wheel again. Full size is the way to go!
