3. Use our AAA towing to get the car back home/shop
I would be totally ok with AAA towing the X5 back but we also take long road trips on occasion where it would not work out being towed in the middle of the night which is where the spare or the plug would be helpful.
In all honesty, I feel that I will probably end up going with all 3 options above once I find a good deal on where to order the spare. Keeping the Dynaplug in the car would also be handy if we need to drive longer distances from the flat since the spare isn't best for long highway speed/distance. |
I'm converting to non-RFTs and just ordered and received this spare from GETBMWPARTS.com
