Spare Wheel question with bbk

[dpgx5]

Here is what I found.
There's a factory 19" x 5" compact alloy spare - part number 36116756858.
The appropriate tire size is 155/80-19, part number 36120418846

Then there is one 18" x 5" part number 36116750316
What size tire is this one ? part number?

I think the main thing is the caliper clearance like JCL said, the width of 5" is what might cause the problem? correct or will it clear?

Ive read that the wheel is N/A in north america, only germany like you said.
Killcrap, what size did you go with? Did you get the wheel cause you upgraded your brakes?

Thanks for your help guys!

Here are the dimentions of the caliper

dpgx5 provides some good information on space saver wheels.

In short, if your car was 3.0 (gas or diesel) or 4.4 and was ordered with the space saver wheel, you would have the 18" version: BMW 36 11 6 750 316

The 4.6 & 4.8 with the larger front brakes (which take a mininum 18" NORMAL wheel size) would have the 19" space saver version: BMW 36 11 6 756 858

If you upgrade to larger brakes which requires a wheel (size) upgrade from 17", remember to check what you have for a spare tire. Usually a take-off 18" or 19" normal wheel is a better value alternative, unless you really want to save a few kg or lb in the trunk.

I have the Brembo BBK and removed my spare as there is no way it is fitting over the front brakes. I decided to buy extra towing coverage instead.

I wonder if a 20" style 87 or equivalent would fit in the spare tire well?

Nope 20" will not fit.

I'm in the same boat as my spare for the 4.6iS is missing. The dealer put a 17" standard in their and I never noticed for a year. A little late to go back. I've been starting to look for an option other than the factory since they are really expensive now.

I have successfully used an aerosol tyre inflater with temporary repair properties. You might consider that as a safety net if you go spare-less...
