Hi,
I am no longer running run flats. I was wondering if any one new if a full size spare wheel will fit in the space under the boot floor where a traditional spare would be kept.
Thanks in advance

A full size spare (up to 18in I think) will not fit due to all the electronics housed in the bottom of the wheel well.
You could fit one if you rehoused the electronics and removed the space-saver wheel liner/trim.
I suggest you just buy a space-saver wheel.

My Ride: 2005 525d manual touring. Beige comfort leather, panoramic sunroof, hifi and blinds option.
Just a note that I tried to put in a full sized spare (basic 225/55 R 16W on 7J x 16 bog standard BMW rims - NOT run flats) by stripping liner and everything else out ... its cant be done ...Almost (but just not) enough space ..
I gave up and kept the space saver wheel instead.
