I don't think any 18" temp exist. Just tried the 17" from my E60 I am trading in. The 17" temp spare won't clear the new larger brakes. I have been looking because the Goodyear RFT that come on the car are supposedly really bad on ice based on on driver reviews?
Unless someone else has better idea I will be buying Blizzak Winter RFT.
I would prefer to buy just on set of Nokian WR G2 all season non - RFT tires. They have a few RFT but not in size we need.

The spare could be on the roof also, as an alternative 
But not on the hood, it feels like it is there already :thumbsdown:

Stick to E60 and don't bother with F10's runflats.
