Hi everyone,
A search yielded nothing. Trying to determine if the M2 has a full or space saver spare. Thanks in advance

[DrKevM5]

Nope

You cannot find that which does not exist.

Welp, thats kinda wild. Are the stock tires run-flats?

Nope

All you get is an air compressor and a can of sealant. Even if the puncture is reparable I doubt a tire shop will even look at a tire that has had sealant applied.

Crazy. Thanks everyone

Shops hate sealant.

Nope. I have this setup for my M5. Tried the fitment and its too tall. Although in a pinch you could get by.

[DrKevM5]

This should fit though

So this is not tucked away? Just sits in your trunk looking out of place? 😬

Tested and fits.

I wonder if Tire Rack could put together a less expensive option? $300 for a steelie wheel and a skinny no name tire seems expensive but then again I've never shopped for a spare tire.

I'm a fan and past customer of Tire Rack, but I'm not sure they have space savers to fit the M2. Skinny leaves you room that a full size tire won't and does no name really matter when you will hopefully never use it and if you do use it... likely only for a day or two? I used a space saver wheel and tire for a spare in my 135is for three years and it gave me peace of mind (had non-run flats on the car) and left me lots of room in the trunk. Put it this way - it beats a can of air and gooey stuff.

So other than carrying a $300 steel donut with a jack kit in your trunk adding weight and stealing trunk space there's no way to have a reliable daily with the M2. I've had 3 punctures already in 4 months which have rendered the car useless for 1-2 weeks each time since nobody has these tires in stock.

So, the bimmerzone donut tire is or not a good option to have ? My conserne is space in the trunk?
For peace of mind !!!!!!

I have it and take it on long trips. It's not as big as you think. I still have room for luggage, and if not, throw the excess luggage in the back seat. I'd rather have the peace of mind.

I had a spare in my E36M3, C32 and X5 all they did was rot in the trunk.

Hope I didn't just jinks myself
