Mine came with a jack and spare. I just discovered the nifty flashlight in the glove compartment as well.

Fellows, we all have the donut in the US. However, you have to remove it to check the air pressure. Mine was 20# low. What's yours?

I just checked the window sticker.?

The car does have the run-flats, but no jack or spare listed.? Can someone else in the U.S. with MY05 that has the run-flats check and see if they have a spare also?

I took delivery of my car about two weeks ago and had been anticipating driving on the run-flats with slight resignation.? I noted on delivery that I received the Dunlap DSSTs that everyone notes get louder as they age. Everything was as I expected it to be when ordering the 545 with sports package.? Today while further exploring the car I was startled when I lifted up the trunk mat and found a spare, a jack setup in there.

From what everyone has posted before I thought the spare and jack were left out when you received the run-flats.? Was I mistaken or might this be a new MY05 thing?

I remember reading that in Canada, the run flats came with no spare in the trunk. Maybe that was the set up you remembered?

I am not sure where I got that impression. I knew I had heard of it from someone on the board, and it may have been furthered in my mind by the lack of a spare on my M3.

Now there is really nothing to keep me from switching to Michelins down the line.

I have the RFT and the spare here in Portugal, and you know it's just great because my next tyres aren't going to be RFT !
