The F25,F26 has no provision for under floor storage.I will be bungee cording it to the rear of the rear seat,piece of mind on long trips

Are you due for new tires? You could spend the Xtra 100.00 per tire for run flats and get real peace of mind

In an accident, I spare tire held in with a "bungee" can become a deadly projectile. Secure it properly with at least a heavy duty ratchet strap

Then there's the jack and lug wrench that need to be properly secured.

…don't forget the jack and lug nut wrench, $179 from this supplier,ugh!

Buy a used BMW scissor jack off Ebay, etc. - I got used E39 jack a couple years ago for about $35.

Then he would have to worry about a piece of his mind.

Modern Tire could never confirm delivery on my spare tire assy,so when I received a follow up email from bimmerzone offering free shipping for the same product, I received it 3 days later. Decided to lay spare on floor and secure it to the floor in the track with the slotted hooks that are there,Added a shelf over spare to still utilize the rear space.Yes ,can’t beat piece of mind
