[quote=Anonymous]BMW offers a regular spare tire for your car for any of the X model and maybe others. They have certain amount of them in the area or you can build one with the spare tire coming as an add on option. Just go to BMW.com and build a car and pick a tire option. What happens is that in case of X3 or X5 for example the car comes with higher floor in the trunk that has enough room to accommodate a tire inside. Go visit a showroom and ask them to show you a car that has this option.
You will see how it works. If you open a car that has spare and one that has not, the difference is that the trunk floor is just little bit higher up but otherwise you can not tell the difference. It does not make the trunk space significantly smaller by no means but other nifty feature it comes with is that they add an automated sliding mechanism for the trunk cover so when you open the hutch that thing fold itself and slides downwards into a space in the floor and closes. So cool. You need to see it to believe it.

You can just get it if you are so concerned. The thing is that the trend is such that nobody is making spare a standard anymore and nobody frankly cares either as the run flats are good enough to get you through the emergency situation to the nearest hotel and service safely.[/quote]
