Just M-Case
I got tired of all my "emergency" stuff rolling around in the trunk loose so I bought a case for everything. It's definitely overkill but it does neaten up the trunk. I've asked my mother-in-law to sew a nice tight-fitting spare tire cover as my Christmas present. That'll help too.

Sean, that's probably the way to go with our limited trunk space but I wasn't able to find anything I thought worked quite right. I did consider building my own box but with the spare tire nothing really fits right anyway.
LC, I'll have to check on dimensions but I got the case from http://www.caseclub.com/. They have anything and everything in any size you could imagine. |

You have a spare tire for an ///M?
I'm on the cusp of going to run-flats (yuck) after getting stranded on a busy freeway. I don't want to go through that again.

itdnwiwbp,
Very nice! But what's a "spare tire"? Just kidding. I carry a small tool bag in the trunk and a separate tire-repair kit, including a tiny electric pump. But my tripod bag slides around back there, and I've been thinking there ought to be a good way to tie it down along with a couple of other miscellaneous things. Your case is an elegant solution.

I seem to remember that all of the spares I looked at said "Except CSL", which I figured meant "except honkin' 345mm brakes" like we have on the Z4M.

After reading this I started to think and realized I'd never actually test fit the spare to the front. I just took the dealer's word for it. Shame on both of us! For anyone reading this thinking they can use the M3 spare it DOES NOT fit the front. So...for all you non-M guys my spare will probably be for sale on here soon...

1) Sitting around for an hour or more waiting for a tow truck a) Watching the car get scraped up or possible front suspension2) Put the spare on the back a) Put the back on the frontHmmm. OH wait. The back on the front would probably rub unless you also were carrying a spacer and bolts.
