BMW E46 Spare Wheel, buy where?

pookakie

Does anyone know where I can buy a space saver spare wheel kit for a 2001 325i se coupe?

I've been googling for over an hour now and still none the wiser.

Check donedeal and adverts for people breaking their cars.

Before you buy a spare wheel, did you check your boot for a spare wheel? I'm being serious by the way
Under the floor of my E46's boot is a hole in the shape of a spare wheel and for a long time, I thought I had no spare wheel. Underneath the lining of the hole shaped like a spare wheel is where the spare wheel is kept. Strange but true.
I gave this advice to a guy I worked with who also had an E46 and also believed he had no spare wheel...

Thank you High Horse.

After reading your post I went outside to check the under the space where the spare wheel should be, and hey presto, a spare wheel.

Apologies everyone, I am a massive idiot.

Lol, ok that was by far the cheapest solution!

You're very welcome, spread the word about the hidden spare wheel though. Don't be too embarrassed either, I think it's a common enough mistake to make with the E46

I have two e46 spare wheels and three full size alloys if you're interested
