Rob,
Did your liner have the fixing slots for the dividers??
Your tyre looks a very snug fit in the liner - which it would be, as the slots only stick out about 5mm on each face.

I actually didn't know that BMW made a liner without the divider slots moulded into them for the 5 series. I'm wondering if that liner is from another model car - because cars that come with the spare kit from the factory don't have the liner at all.

Yes it has the slots and it came with the quarter dividers which i simply removed and dropped in the space saver kit, it is a snug fit ie, the tyre touches the slots, but thought that was no bad thing.

Can you easily put and pull the tyre out?
