I'm afraid the trunk is really small for putting into it a spare wheel, even an emergency one. Removing the double bottom doesn't help much, because the space gained is rather tiny.

Besides, the second bottom is very soft and the battery and some electric cables are right below it, so I'm not sure if you can put any weight on it without risking to damage what's underneath. Anybody has any experience with it?

Honestly, I fail to understand why bmw is not able to manage some space for the spare, while other awd cars, such as the tiguan, do not seem to have problems with it.
