Oops!!! Sorry, I forgot I was posting in the 1M forum. No, it will not fit(at least I do not think it will clear the front brakes). ? I think you will need an 18 inch wheel (min) to clear the 1M's front brakes.

But when I look up a euro M3 I see they list my alloy 17" spare wheel. ? Maybe they want you to rotate one of the rear wheels forward when you have a front flat on a M3 ???

I think a better solution is to order a X5 or e60 spare tire that is an 18" but a steel wheel. I would ask Dan@United for which spare wheel he recommends.
This is the e60 kit I was thinking about. But I do not see the wheel size listed. ?
