Isn't the spare tire under the vehicle near the trunk? I don't think you would see the spare in the trunk. Just a handle to release the spare.

RFTs...
Some guys on the X3 RoadToad bored mentioned they have
run flats.

Could not discern if it was a "pkg" thing, or
a running change, near end of model production.

^^Maybe 2006 models have runflats. Mine is a 2006. Im sure there are no spare tires at all. When the mechanic came to tow the car he checked it out and there was no spare.

As someone pointed out above, the spare tire suppose to be located UNDER the vehicle in the rear, not inside the truck.

I've never heard the X3 comes with Run-Flat tires, but even if it does, isn't it suppose to only let you run for some km more to get you to the nearest workshop without damaging your rims? If the tire is damaged badly and not fixable, you would still have to buy a new one? US$300+ for a Run-Flat sound about right?... just my 2 cents

I wish I could check under the car for a spare but the car is at the dealership, I might just stop by and find out whats happening later.
