So it looks like the BMW black steel 18” compact spare wheel ( part # 36-11-6-768-861 for the X5 and X6) should work on the 1M (and M3) with the appropriate tire (ie Maxxis 155/70-18 112M part # TP 10676000 giving a diameter of 26.54”or several of the other suggested choices). Thanks Tom303 and flzrider for the link to this information!
I have a couple of questions related to using this wheel on our 1Ms:-
1) Is the bolt/stud hole size on this wheel larger that what is on the 1M wheels? ie ours are sized to take a stud 12mm in diameter.
2) If the hole size on the steel wheel is larger is the purpose of the “centering ring” to ensure that the smaller diameter 1M (M3) bolt/studs will center precisely in the steel wheel holes? – Or is there another purpose for the ring?
3) Will our 1M bolts/studs be useable with the steel wheel or will a different set of bolts/studs be required? ie same diameter but different length?
Thanks for your help - pete

As I posted before, just brought the 17" spare back yesterday morning.
Not a prob no arguements.... they made nothing out of it .
So I ordered the 18" black steel spare + the bolts and a tire in the sizes as posted previously. Doesn't matter which one.
Again thanks guys
