spare tire

koxal · 12-03-2018, 08:51 AM

hi guys,

is there a spare tire for the f90 m5?

i know there is a repair kit but does it really works?
what happens if the tire is not repairable on a long trip?

I am planing on a road trip and need your valuable inputs..
thanks in advance...

You are running out off luck. Lol

Call roadside assistance!

Just got an oem RIM and tire for the peace of mind.
Ended up getting all 4 wheels to have an extra set with winter tires. Just keep one of the extras in the trunk.
I also keep a plug kit but reality is you hit a pothole and get a gash in the side (which is usually what happens to me) the plug kit or the slime wont help.

Just take the useless lithium ion battery out of the trunk and stick a dummy in there.

Shouldn't the G30 space tire kit will fit?

Not according to the dealer.

Based on my quick research, the reason it doesn't fit is due to the offset of the spare wheel.
If that is the case, the solution would be carrying wheel spacer together with spare wheel.

Would be great if we could confirm it would work with the spacer. Peace of mind on a trip to have it. I plan on carrying a full wheel on longer trips once my 19" square winter setup comes in.
