Need help for buying spare tire kit

deep_2783 · 07-09-2010, 01:57 PM

Hello All,

I just changed my run flats to non-run flats on a 2007 335i. So I now need a spare tire for the back up. I am trying to find if there is any good spare tire kit that will take less space in the boot and does not look ugly as a single tire. I mean if I have a tire in there it won't hold on bumps. So if anyone know, please advise if you know a spare tire kit that can be placed in the back will not use enough space and can be tied somehow.

Really appreciate your time. Thanks.
Peter

You need this, plus some cover bought from a local store:

There is also an OEM spare tire kit available for 335i but it is only sold in Europe.

I have the bavauto spare, just bungee it to the hold-down clips in back. You don't need to spend money on a cover, it's just for looks. The tools go underneath the trunk liner in spaces molded for them.

Here's a picture of BavAuto spare kit, except the the tire tote and the OEM trunk net.
