BMW youve "blown it"
My 06 X5, which I LOVE will be the last in a long line of BMW's My major reason is that whoever in their INFINITE WISDOM" is the "person" who decided that X5's, a semi offroader doesn't need a spare tire, screwed up BIG TIME. I thought to trade up to a DIESEL, great idea BMW...but the lack of a spare has turned me off completely. There isn't even room for one...aslde from perhaps having a doughnut, but then where do you put the full size "flat" one? So 35 years of BMWCCA membership will be finished when the E53 is no longer...mind you I hope to keep this one on the road for MANY YEARS....but after that, a TAHOE, (if GM doesn't give up the spare tire)

I think the point of his message is that newer BMW's come without spares, the 06 X5 he owns has the spare, and will be his last BMW over a silly little detail like that.
If you're that worried about getting stranded, get a AAA membership card and use it to wash the sand out of your vagoo. E

You can still get a spare as an option, just order it. It may be a temp spare but it works. Hell, that's all I have in the 4.6is because the big wide 20" wheels won't fit in the back.

Honestly, I've probably had to use a spare maybe 3 times in my life.
3 times in nearly 20 years of driving! To decide not to purchase a fine vehicle, where all the positives would outweigh one negative, is just poor rationale.
