Space Saver SpareTire

I plan on having the dealer swithch the RFT to standard tires. I will probably aslo get the Coupe without the sport package.
Anyone know where to purchase and what to purchase with respect to a space saver spare tire that could be used? I think I could rig up a hookup to "velcro" it to the back of the back seats in the trunk.

Any ideas especially when considering the bolt pattern and size?

Thanks

do you really want to dump the RFTs ?

Before you do this, I suggest that you take a serious test drive in a 335i coupe. The ride is considerably improved over the E90/330i.
If I were you, I would also re-think the decision to NOT order the sport package. The coupe really needs the 18" wheels for looks and for additional traction - this car has so much torque, you need beefy tires.
The sport package also comes with the much superior sport seats, with electric lumbar support and side bolster adjustment. In my view, the two most important options for the 335i are sport package and active steering; everything else is gravy.
