I have the E70 and I did not get the third row seat. BMW should have never created this option.

Here is my point.... If you do not opt for it... you get a spare tire. The vehicle comes with run flats but what if a tire is destroyed?? I like knowing I have a spare in case that happens. Run flats are good for about 90 miles but a shredded tire will get you 0 miles.
