Canadian F85 Spare tire questions

[S65B40YYC]

I am looking into getting a 2015 X5M and I have researched the spare tire situation with mixed results. The car I am looking at does not have a spare and is on 21" Pirelli's.

Did the F85 in Canada get a spare tire kit form new or did they come with an M mobility kit?

I have read that US cars got the spare tire kit and the Canadian cars got an M mobility kit with a tire sealant and a 12v compressor. Can anyone confirm this?

I have a regular non M E70 and was wondering if the 155/90R18 spare from this would work with the F85? I suspect it will need a spacer?


TIA

Thanks for the link, I did read that one. Any idea of the wheel spec and tire size for the F85 spare set up?

Here are the specs of my spare wheel. Ordered option S300A on a Canadian MY2018.

R18 definitely won’t work. I only know of like 2 kinds of R19 rims that clear the calipers. That spare one and 1 old winter kit from like another generation of x5.

Unfortunately...I don't think BMW gives those two things away anymore. The orange tranny release tool ended back around 2010/2011...and I haven't seen the sunroof wrench in over a decade either.

I know on my f06...if I need to manually release the transmission...I have to crawl under the car (after lifting it up) to manually release the tranny. The orange tool & "Z" shaped hex tool for the sunroof was not in the little tool bag in the trunk...it only contained the screw driver and tow hook.

Thanks, the sunroof tool could prove invaluable, I' ll look into obtaining one. Trans tool..AAA

This picture is from my other x5m MY 2013. Even in 2013, I had to complete the kit myself and buy the missing tools.

Maybe in 2015, they still put the forms for the tools but not anymore.

The zf 8 speed doesn't have the release inside so no tool provided it's like earlier post said underneath. There is a procedure to get neutral by holding the gear-lever and cranking the engine but useless if you have an engine problem or don't want to crank it.
