E87 spare wheel & jack

Recommended Posts

My wife's E87 doesn't have RFTs (previous owner ditched them) and it doesn't have spare wheel or a jack.

Any suggestion which jack can fit E87? Tried the Mazda's one which is too big. There is a BMW genuine jack kit which will cost north of $250 here in NZ.

This worries me in long distance driving (I had one flat a long time ago in my E39 just north of Ohakea so getting a flat is always a possibility). Or I can always put the collapsible spare wheel and compressor from the Porker when traveling out of town. However Porsche's jack can't be used on 1 series.

My trolley jack is too tall for the 1 series! Now I can't even take the wheels off to clean them!!

BTW I'm getting used to the clatter of modern BMW engine again. I forgot how noisy they can get.

UPDATE: actually the Porsche jack fits quite well, I can chuck the whole lot to the BMW when driving long distances.
