Thin donut spare for 2015 F10
Hi All! I'm trying to break free from the expense of ROF tires. Can anyone point me towards a relatively inexpensive donut spare? There is one site that has one for $300.00! No Way! From what I can tell I need an 18x4 with a 5x120 bolt pattern. One question. If I have standard 17" wheels do I still need an 18x4 or would a 17x4 suffice?

Not exactly fair to compare prices of new vs used.
But a good idea to visit a scrap yard and for an E60 or Craigslist or similar. Rolling diameter and offset are key. |

I decided to just keep a Slime Smart Spair Tire Repair Kit in my trunk over carrying a spare, but then again my driving might be different than yours. 99% of my driving is within a 25 mile radius of my house. Luckily my wife hates riding in my car and we use her SUV for long distance family trips :-)

I'm using a full size spare in the boot for now. I do have a slim spare from an e39 but it makes contact with the caliper. Not even sure as far as what the rolling circumference is. Might have to look into an e60 spare. I need the trunk space.
