16" SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL AND TOOL KIT COMPATIBLE WITH 1 SERIES (2004-2019)

Product Information

Many 1 series owners opt for non-runflat tyre as many of the latest 1-Series no longer have these fitted as standard. A lot of 1 Series do not come with a spare wheel as standard so BMW provide a puncture repair kit which will get you home if your tyre becomes punctured. If your car is on run-flats then we can provide such a kit – Continental comfort kit. This option means that any tyre can be immediately replaced with the spare on the spot, and there are no limitations to speed and distance when the spare wheel is in place. Run-flat tires allow you to keep moving after a puncture, giving you time to travel to an auto shop or locate a level, safe place to change your tire.

No, the wheel and tyre is in one parcel and the accessories in another. Occasionally the carrier delivers these separately so don’t worry if you only receive one of the items at first. The other will arrive. Road Hero does not offer this option. If you feel it is necessary this item should be available from the relevant new car dealership. Sport trim introduces 17-inch alloy wheels to the 1 Series. It’s a popular choice among buyers because it makes the car look a bit more sporty, but many of those buyers subsequently go on to regret their decision. That’s because Sport models have run-flat tyres – which means the 1 Series does without a spare wheel. Unfortunately, these tyres have extremely stiff sidewalls, which means every lump of the UK’s bumpy roads can be felt in the cabin. I eventually bought and fitted the space saver (as illustrated above). Couple of points - it weighs a tonne and the wheel combined with the industrial quality securing straps completely destroy the practicality of the boot design. Even though I have not experienced a puncture in 15,000 miles, I think that BMW have been too clever by half in not designing the space capacity in the boot floor shells to accommodate a space saver. Crazy! BMW owners have also expressed dissatisfaction over the run-flat tires’ accelerated tire degradation, but this may be partially attributable to individual driving habits. Discussions on whether to keep using run-flat tires or switch to regular tires are common in BMW owner forums.
