The battery, exhaust, and often spare tire are used as a tool for evening out the weight distribution of the car which is why ours is placed where it is. There is no "spot" for the tire. You would anchor it yourself in the trunk somewhere.

I use the mighty force of gravity and 2 plastic wheel chocks to keep it in place.

If you have an E82, you have to add the two forward rear cargo hooks, but this is an option: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=18

two forward rear cargo hooks
yeah saw that in the DIY section looked very easy to do and very smart thing to do! BMW cranium and rectum should not occupy the same space at the same time! WTF! Forward cargo hooks and spare tire! WTF! Deep German accent something like Kissinger In the great state of Germany we do not believe in hooks nor in spare tires. In Bavaria the streets are cleaned by virgins and are smoothed over with beer. ok well I'll just have to order the kit and just do what a man has to do I guess? Throw it in the bag and strap it down to the rear hooks. |

OK back on track,
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 Any one order this? Does it fit our massive front brakes? And is the tote bag worth it? These guys want $99 for it! http://www.bimmerzone.com/BMW_Perfor...82E88-KIT.html |

Several members have gone this route ,but most only carry a full size tire on long trips due to the limited trunk space. BTW dont forget the jack and lug wrench.

This just gets you to the home page. Click where it says choose vehicle. Then select yr and model. Scroll down slightley and you will see Emergancy Spare Tire Kit. Click on that. You will notice it says M3 spare tire, but it works great on the 1 series. |

We only need a 17 inch wheel to clear our front brake calipers/rotors. I bought the alloy spare wheel for a 135i/335i that BMW sells over here in Germany. The tire does not have any DOT stamps... so BMW NA can not sell the complete wheel. But you can order the alloy wheel and source a (DOT)tire from any tire shop or from TireRack.com the jack kit you can order from BMW NA... I have posted all the part numbers before for this mini donut spare tire. The jack kit was like 100 euros and the alloy wheel with tire was around 150 euros. Dackel
