I'm referring to wheel studs that are threaded into the hub, so the wheels are attached with nuts rather than bolts (and not to studs that are affixed to the tires for traction)!

Thanks FLZRIDER, TiagaTii,VO1M and gs/e60/1M for sorting all this out! I purchased the 18" wheel from BMW and the 155 70 18 tire from Maxxis. Test fit shows everything to work as you all said it would. I found a e46 jack to throw in the trunk along with the spare. It all fits in the Spare Tire Bag that is available from Bavarian Auto Sport. Also installed the BMW cargo hooks at the front of the trunk per FLZRIDER's other thread. They were easy to install. I recommend this setup to anyone who feels more comfortable with a spare tire instead of the can of goo and compressor.

Looking RealOEM.com I see there IS an alloy wheel spare tire: 36110445045 It is the same one I bought for my car last year! The main reason why I went with the alloy wheel was bc you don't need any adptor rings or different wheel bolts. BMW will not sell you the tire for this wheel... but they will sell you the alloy wheel.

Here are some pics of my spare tire setup...

alloy wheel/tire spare = 36110445045 - 120 euros

Thank you!
I recently purchased all of the above incl. a nice bag for the wheel from BMW.
According to information found, this set up shoud be for "dealerships and assitance purposes only" - not for customers, but I had no problem getting it.

Whether it fits or not based on feedback in previous posts will be tested.
A full refund is expected if it doesn't (no problem with BMW dealership).

Hobbe- I would make sure it works on your 1M. The reference you used is for a 135i.

Alloy wheel/tire spare part# 36110445045 is stated as complete spare wheel set for E82 1M.
Part# 36116788203 is the wheel itself.
Same part# for both E92 M3 and E82 135i.

If it fits or not I'll know once I find the time to visit the local garage.

Yup, my alloy spare is a 17 inch wheel. It fits my 135i just fine. But I don't think it would fit on(over) the front 1M's big brakes. That is why for a 1M you need at least an 18 inch wheel. (whether a snow or spare, you need an 18 inch wheel!).

Everything I've read says so far has said that the aluminum wheel you bought will NOT fit the 1M or E90/92 M3 front brakes.

Bought it, tried it, and traded it in for something else.
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!

17" steel wheel (from a e46 330i) on my 135i...

Dackelone,

I've got a 19" 1M front wheel as a spare now.

Yup. I think for a 1M a full size spare in 18" or 19" is the best solution. You won't have any worries when driving across the country.

For a 135i, an 17" or 18" full size spare is best solution(I think).

Hi Hobbe ! I'm running 18" on mine, but I kept the original 19's in the basement, meaning I could easily do the same as you. But are you sure that a 1M's front wheel would fit the back axle if needed ?

If you don't want to put a lot of money in your trunk, you can get an 18" Sport Edition wheel from the Tire Rack that will fit front or rear (they recommend for winter tires all around) for a very reasonable price.

Hi Leif ! Nope, I don't have a spare for the moment. My 1M drives all year long with 18" M3-E92 wheels, PS2 in front and PS3 aft. But I'm considering carrying one of my OEM 19" in the trunk as a spare... And in the winter, a little more weight in the back can't hurt, as it will improve traction !

PS: went to my BMW specialist. He said 1M/M3 OEM front wheels can be mounted aft as a spare, temporarily.

Has anyone determined if mounting an 18" spare on the rear would be a problem with the LSD if the other wheel is a 19"?

Thanks.

So long as the overall diameter is the same (or close), doesn't matter what size the wheel is.

Sounds wise to me ! But still, there is a small difference between front and aft wheel diameter. So using a front wheel aft, as a spare, should IMO be kept to the minimum.
I wouldn't want to drive a tank of gas like this, with even a remote risk to the diff ...
