e60 spare tire kit --

vincent at bimmerzone is asking if anybody has pics of the tire mounted on the car itself... if any of you have or get around to doing it, please email him pics for their use if you're ok with it...

I'm thinking of putting four of these on my car at the same time for a unique look........

it will be badass if you drive it that way to bimmerfest this saturday... you will definitely get some looks

just mind the 35mph speed limit though

Ordered unit Sunday night - Received this morning. Very compact, and the cover is will keep everything neat and orderly.

Also have already recieved notice of the 15% discount (credit) that will be applied.

I'm interested in the spare tire kit and tire cover as well. Is it a $15 or a 15% discount?

They refunded me $15.00.

I decided to put my own spare tire kit together and saved myself $76 =) I ended up purchasing a used, but unused spare wheel/tire from a salvage yard, the OEM jack set from eBay, and a pair of OEM tire totes from eBay.

Sounds interesting, how about some pictures of the spare tire, jack set, tire tote, and tray if you got one of those also, so that we can see how it compares to the one some of us has purchased.

As soon as I get everything, I'll post some pics. There is no foam tray. The jack kit is stored in a tote bag and can be conveniently kept in the 'spare tire' compartment between the battery and the bumper.

if it works, that's what matters... pics would be nice for those that may be looking at going your route...

Would really appreciate any closeup pics of spare placement.
Planning trip from central Oregon to L.I., NY in about two months and I want to get rid of the RFTs. Any ideas on regular titters?. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards!!
Peter

I see he ordered the Compact Spare. Interesting place to keep it.

Hi Everyone, Just purchased a 650i myself.... Here are some pictures of the spare tire for the 6 series

Here are some pics of the M6 spare tire kit (fits my 650i as well) I posted to an earlier thread (didn't see the prior request for pics). I run Michellin non-RFT's and carry the spare. It has the jack enclosed in a foam tray fitted inside the spare and tote.

Greg, thanks for sharing this picture of your spare tire in the link above. I have casually looked around for a tire cover and never pulled the trigger, then I saw yours in the picture and tracked down the equivalent on Amazon.com. Mine doesn't say BMW but it serves it's function!

My tire tote in action:

looks good and serves the exact same function (and probably allot cheaper than buying it new).

I just put on my NRF Hankook V12's today, so I went ahead and ordered one too. I hope there is no time limit on the deal. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the order Spare tire in transit to you as I type
