Bimmerzone G87 Spare Tire Kit

DivergedM2 · 06-12-2023, 06:24 PM

Successfully fitted an OEM BMW Spare tire kit for the G87. May pop one of these in the trunk on my long drives. Shoutout to Vince @ Bimmerzone for having me out.

How much does it weigh?

InspectorSeb · 06-12-2023, 07:36 PM

Nice to have, wish there was a spot to store it

That would be handy to have on my current road trip (see photos section). I have thought about what I would do if I had a flat up here in the middle of no where.

For sure. I estimate it is probably 40lbs but I'll get exact specs from Vince tomorrow to share.

At $1,000 I see why manufacturers have stopped adding them to cars. What savings for them (even if their cost is a fraction of the price we pay).

Thanks so much for sharing it fits! definitely something to consider having if going away with spotty coverage.

For sure! I haven’t had to use one in a while, knock on wood. Confirmed this morning 39lbs with genuine BMW wheel and tires mounted.

That’s very light, not a concern with carrying it or moving it in and out of the trunk. Moving the original wheel into the trunk is the bitch lol both size and weight-wise.

Would you please post a photo of it sitting in the trunk?

The steel spare wheels manufacturers would use are much cheaper, ~$250 (and less for the mfr.). I had one for my F82 and used it once in 9 years. Weight and a place to store it are the other factors.

Ordered one today.

Received the Bimmerzone OE alloy wheel spare yesterday. I takes considerable trunk space but will be useful on trips.
