    I spotted a few E60 BMW taxis around. As taxis are legally required to have a full size spare wheel and the boot recess only holds a space saver, where do they put the spare?

    Presumably with luggage etc., it would be a bit awkward simply putting it above the boot floor.

    taxis have to have a full size spare for the NCT test, my guess is that they dont carry around the spare for the other 364 days of the year and just leave the space saver in there in case of emergency.

    my dads E60 has a 17" space saver, so its not like they drive around on the old style 13" orange wheel :D
