A new boot liner tray can be purchased from BMW which does not have the tray-tidy slots in it, therefore allowing the space-saver spare wheel to fit nicely in place. I know because I have one. Just a shame the dealer didn't tell me about this when I ordered the spare wheel as I had to go back the next week to pick one up! Cost around ?34 I think after a little discount, which is a little pricey but keeps the boot well looking tidier.
As I read it, AlwynMike was describing the trials and tribulations of stuffing a full-size wheel into an unhelpful wheel well.

I fully agree! I changed my Bridgestone Potenza RFT to NON RFT Continental ContiPremiumContact (speed rating: W). Now I do enjoy a much softer ride, also I do not get this annoying noise of RFT. The disadvantage is obvious; if I get a puncture then the RFT is a winner. So it is a sort of compromise, for me definitely I support NON RFT

Hi Doogie,

Can you confirm what size your runflat wheel / tyre is. I'm getting mixed messages as to whther it should be 16 or 17 Inch Diameter?

Thx
