Rockit is on a distinguished road
The dealer does not offer a spare or any parts. I found a kit offered at ECS Tuning.

The kit comes with a space saver aluminum rim and space saver tire, jack, lug wrench, and tire wedge. I had to modify/cut the Styrofoam insert for the tools, must be out of another model.

It fits perfectly in the spare tire well without securing it with and eyelets bolt and nut. It wont go anywhere.

I took off the run craps and installed Pirelli Scorpion Verties. Awesome ride. The spare is expensive $800 but with it, all BMW tools and tire. ECS Tuning only had a 18" wheel and I made them find a 19" to fit my car, hopefully they will update there system, these cars came with 18-19 & 20" tires. The tire is still smaller than the stock outside rolling dimeter and hope it wont hurt the Xdrive.

My first 2 emails were very detailed, it keeps erasing all my work so this is my last try and hope this posts.
