Anyone come up with a solution for a spare yet? As of now I just asked my dealer for an extra 706M wheel/tire to keep in the trunk. With the potholes still around here I am highly confident I will need it.

I spoke with Tire rack who doesn't really have anything yet.

Maybe this will work. http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-G30-KIT.html

The front and rear tires have slightly different diameter (27.7" vs 28" for the 20").

Will you have 275 or 285 as your spare? If you use the 275, I wonder if that 1% differential will cause issues with the rear active diff.

Personally I would look into running either a 275 or 285 square setup.

Thanks! I ordered a spare front the 275. My understanding is within 2% shouldnt hurt the car especially as a spare. Plus most of the time for me its the front tires that shred on potholes. As for the space saver- my recollection is the f10 m5 kit came with a spacer. I assume it would be needed here too.
