Don't have a E61 yet, but am looking for a 2006 530XI. Quick question on tires/spare tire situation on these cars. Did the earlier models come with doughnut as spare? When did they switch to runflats? Is there room for a full size wheel/tire combo.

This information will help greatly.

Thanks.

The standard 225 wheel will fit as a spare.

I have this.

My car originally had run flats so once I changed to 19"s I bought a space saver tyre. I'm not sure if a full size wheel would fit in the wheel well...
