Bimmerzone G87 Spare Tire Kit

DivergedM2 · 06-12-2023, 07:24 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, 08:36 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.

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.

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.
