Thank you so much! This is very helpful to determine the right size.

I'm thinking you should bolt it to the hood like an old Land Rover.

I doubt it. And it would more likely obstruct the view… Most times I strap it flat on the floor in the cargo area… When I am traveling and taking my dog I strap it up against the backseat, even then it blocks the view a little bit

I bought a donut off ebay, the correct size 130/80/R17, but the diameter is only about 25". I have new Bridgestone Driveguards and their diameter is closer to 25.75". Admittedly I've not checked tire pressure on the donut so maybe it will size up a little.
Does anyone know how close the diameter needs to be to not cause problems? I'm thinking about stress on the differential or transfer case? |

I personally wouldn't run a donut on an AWD vehicle, and these I understand are especially sensitive to it.
Trouble is, we don't have a ton of cargo space to spare either. Perhaps this is why the run-flats seemed to the engineers at BMW like a reasonable solution despite the harsh ride, exorbitant cost, etc. I solved it by throwing on a roof rack and strapping a full size spare wheel to it. I just keep that in the tire rotation to keep the sizes the same. Added bonus: it's really easy to find in a parking lot. |

I hit a pothole and it ruined the side wall. After 12 miles steel belt was showing. Even if it got me 50 miles it wouldn’t mater as I was 300 miles from any BMW dealer or tire store that sold 19’s, even tho they were all closed on a Sunday evening

I'm not a fan for runflats due to poorer ride quality, but in this situation it was invaluable to getting us to a safe place. |

Anyone here successfully fitted a spare tire solution (BZ, ECS, etc) to a 35i model? The 35i has bigger brakes than the 28i, and I can't get a clear answer out of the suppliers if their solutions will fit the 35i model.

Can you provide a reference to this, that turning off stability control is enough to not cause any undue stress or damage to the X-drive system? Because this would allow bmw x1 owners to utilize say, the x3 or x5 spare tires...

That's pretty epic, not going to lie! Thanks for posting! If I ever find a reasonable priced spare tire, I might have to do that! |
