It's a mid-life crisis thing............

Wor Lass and I are planning some road trips next year (NC 500, through France & Switzerland to San Marino & Rome, and possibly Kiev - maybe one or two more as well). When WL had the original idea for the Italy trip, she said "What about doing it in a convertible?". Sounds good to me, an E93 325d seems be ideal, except for one thing..........

I'm really uncomfortable about being so far away from home without a full-size spare. I haven't got 'round to looking at any cars yet as the first trip is at least 6 months off. So, will a full-size spare fit in the boot with the roof down? Our luggage won't be a problem as it can go on the back seat, under the deflector.

TIA

At the moment, yes. The mechanicals have got years left in them, the interior is reasonable for a 14y-o/160k mls car, but the rust is letting it down badly now.
