Do BMW sell these? If they do, I expect they'll cost an arm and a leg.

It depends on how much of a cheapskate you are!!
You can talk with your local tyre factor (I don't mean ATS!!) - mine supplied me with a new BMW wheel and Continental tyre for ?85. I had a wheelbrace anyway. I often carry a hydraulic jack, but I also use a Vauxhall Omega (I presume the Carlton/Vectra ones are the same ; check the safe working load stamped on it) item. Three minutes with a Junior Hacksaw shortening the plastic top to the jack so it fits snugly into the jacking points on the sills and off you go.
If you go to BMW you will get a plastic tray that holds the jack, and also wheel chocks.
