Question: What do I do when/if I get a flat tire since my 550i did not come with a spare?

I would just go without the spare, save the weight, and call BMW assist (or use your mobile phone) if you run into a problem. BMW can GPS track your car and send help immediately.

I do not know about you, but changing a tire on a highway (or even on a neighborhood road) is not my idea of a good time. Most times, the lug nuts are too tight to loosen with the small wrench.

I think American culture is to think back 30 years when getting a flat tire meant a disaster. Today, we have things like fix-a-flat and quick service.

If you find yourself travelling on Montana back roads, then please disregard my opinions.

Best regards,
Richard
