x6er · 01-18-2010, 01:49 PM

hi,
So, I got my spare tire retro kit and installed it today.
In Canada, the spare option is not offered for ordering and I had to purchase the kit seperate.
The kit is $461 CND plus taxes.
it takes about 15 minutes to take out the storage area under the cargo hatch and put the kit in. parts included,
spare tire (size 18)
lug wrench
jack
bolt and washer to hold tire in place
styrofoam tray to place jack and lug wrench

Now to non run flats choices.

Does it leave any room afterwards or is that whole area filled up?

x6er · 01-18-2010, 04:31 PM

it takes the room under the cargo floor.

uh, ya I get that...was just wondering if it fills in the entire area under the cover or if there is any room left over...

x6er · 01-20-2010, 12:43 PM

it fills the whole area..no space left for storage.

My online parts dealer couldn't find it in stock anywhere but local dealer found it for $645.. What a ripoff but I think I'll go for it anyways.. New conti tires are coming up this week so may need that spare tire kit..

I found the ride is much improved and less noise than the Dunlop runflats.

$645 is too much for this kit. I was able to get all part numbers from this kit separately and when I provided them to Evan from Tischer BMW, he was very kind to create a special package for $335. I ended up getting this kit from my dealer, since he gave me a special discount, but here's a direct link for the Tischer kit.

Thanks, that's great info. I asked Jason @ Tischer about it but he said it showed up as NA. Have to ask again I guess.
