M Sport brakes? Question about F10 compact spare tire / M-Sport package
Hi all, have a question that I hope you can help me with.
I have a 2014 F10 535i X-Drive with M-Sport package. I've finally decided to get rid of the run flats and put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's on there. I'm looking at compact spare options (I don't need a jack / tool kit etc) I read this thread, which has a few ideas: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572630 and it looks like Bimmerzone has n aftermarket steelie kit for $300 w/o jack: http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-F10-KIT.html BavAuto sells an OEM kit for $300: https://www.bavauto.com/b36000179 The BavAuto kit contains wheel # 36-11-6-796-144 which according to realoem.com does not fit cars with M Sport Brakes. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...49#36116796144 I called BavAuto and gave them my VIN--they told me my car doesn't have M Sport brakes and this will fit. So I guess my question is--do I believe that? What exactly are the M-sport brakes? They are not included with M Sport package? If so, is there an option code to verify that I don't have them? Thanks all!

Hhmmm...I purchased the kit from BavAuto over a year ago. Never did I notice that the spare would not fit onto "M Sport Brakes"; come to think of it, I don't even know if I opted for "M Sport Brakes".
I've never needed to use my spare yet. Now you've got me wondering if I should check. I'm sitting pretty low on coilovers now, not sure if fitment of the spare will be an issue though. |

FWIW, ECS mentions the same thing... Although no one can tell me what exactly the M Sport brakes are.

My assumption:
It is not relevant to the F10. I know the F30 and others have M-sport brakes like below. Since the Spare isn't an F10 specific item it is a general warning for the other folks that may have the option on their chassis. Matt

I installed Michelin PS A/S 3+ on my 2011 F10 535iX. I am very happy with them. I don't have M-sport package.
I got a E60 spare. I have to add a 12mm wheel spacer(with longer bolts) to clear the caliper. Here is how I carry the spear.

All 535s have the same brakes, M-Sport or not.
There were no brake options on F10s.
