Space Saver kit? - M5POST

Is there a space saver kit or donut for the M5 in emergencies?

No spare / donut. You get an M-Mobility kit (a compressor with a bottle of tire goo).

Yea - i was talking aftermarket. BMW made a space saver kit for the e46 M3 with a donut, was wondering if they did it for this. Good for long trips and saves the room. The stock 19 inch front seems to big to throw in the trunk.

Have you confirmed that the stock front (20" specifically) will work on the rears as well?

Not sure if they do.

I use one of the front 20's as the spare. Did so a couple weeks ago on the first road trip; it does take up a lot of room, but I was still able to fit two rollerboard suitcases in the trunk.

I do the same thing in my M3.

I havent confirmed that, but I will check when I get mine. I would be a 19 inch wheels for me though.

Thx guys...thinking along the same lines as you both once my aftermarket wheels arrive.

I think Bokke's response of "not sure if they do" was referring to my question of whether or not there is a space saver kit. Im guessing if he uses it as a spare, hes tested it out or confirmed it.

Would there be any reason a front 20" would work and not a front 19"?

I have not; but I can't imagine it's different from my M3.

Obviously, with the front being smaller it fits on the rear and not visa versa.

Correct

Thanks Guys. When I get my aftermarket wheels I can do a test of the F OEM 20" on the rear. I think it should work, just want to be sure!
