Spare Tire Option on a 50i E70?

[Justinhab]

I just picked up a 2011 CPO 50i X5. There's no spare tire or jack and BMW is telling me this was an added option. Everything I can find shows that US models come with a spare from the factory. Can anyone confirm for sure if the spare was a standard option or something that had to be added for an additional cost.

Thanks!

First congrats on your bimmer!!, now Yes bmw could be correct but the pervious owner must of sold it before he traded the car remember that spare kit is going for $300+ online, to be honest i would of done the same thing lol, but if their telling you its there try to work something out u might be lucky

FWIW -- spare tire wasn't standard on my '13 50 -- not sure if it was different in '11.

I don't believe spare kits were standard if your X came with run flat tires or third row option.

i have a '11 X5 d and I got the 3rd row. With the 3rd row you lose the spare tire and gain some storage space. I have the run flats.

Checked my invoice, and yes that was a option $150.00 not standard on any year.

I have a 2011 50i with M Sport and the 333 wheels. No spare.

It's an option if you don't have the 3rd row as previously stated. If you want to retrofit it: http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462
