I don't have anything holding the spare tire in place. It really doesn't move around at all - with that BMW rubber trunk mat. I suppose you could use some tie downs IF you were really worried. But even with braking hard on the autobahn or going around the twisty bits - that spare never really moves much.

Yea... you can put stuff ontop of that spare. (I do all the time) Or just remove it IF you got to transport some large items. I have thrown it in behind the front seats a few times. This spare is very light and only about four or five inches wide. The tire and alloy wheel weigh about 20 Kg's.
