Thanks again fellas.
I'll price up the individual bits I need and see how it works out. I've got jacks and braces lying about the
garage so I don't really want to buy anymore of those!
Going off on a slight tangent; I've just read in a magazine that " the next generation of runflats should
solve the ride problem ". Anyone have any idea when this next generation is due?
And Ray, why on earth would you want pictures of airport terminals ................. ?
Cheers,
Mike.

Hello everybody,
New Boy here!
I've just bought a '04 530d touring and would like to lose the runflats and therefore fit a spare wheel.
Now, in ripoff UK BMW would like to charge me ?182 ( $318 ) for the retrofit kit ( compared to ?75 when
specified as a new option ..... ! ) so I thought I might investigate alternative ways of doing this!
Could anyone please tell me the size of wheel ( diameter / width / offset ) and possibly part no.
together with the size of tyre fitted?
Also, could anyone tell me the price of the kit in the USA ( if available ) as I visit often and could easily
bring one home.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Already enjoying a thoroughly informative and entertaining Forum!
