Ebay.... got mine for 35 squid 
When I was looking, quite a few E46 owners had bought the E60 space saver kit accidently so were looking to get shot of it cheaply... <_<
Otherwise dealer price is ?180 inc VAT :thumbsdown:

I take it then that the 3 series kit will be ok with the 5er
Not sure mixterk. I think the E39/E46 brace/jack will work but not the actual space saver

anyone know better. I think I paid about that... (But the dealer did fit it for 'free' - there's a bit of hacking to be done to make it fit apparently)

Worth every penny to ditch the runflats!

I'm selling my space-saver on eBay UK, if anyone's interested. Search for "E61 space saver". It was delivered new with my E61 in March this year, should fit E60, not sure about others (need to get a part number from BMW and check against other cars). I've decided I can live with RFTs so don't need the space-saver.
