Definitely a problem if you can be up to 100 miles or so away from tire shops, or the BMW dealer.
BMW are not going to redesign the vehicles with a wheel well any more, that era is over pretty much for sure. So we need to use trunk space if we carry a space saver, or a full size spare wheel.
I had this situation in the last BMW as I moved away from RFTs, so needed a mobility kit and a spare when in remote situations, or needed to keep mobile. Not ideal but needs must, if we want to keep with BMW. Current car, I'm keeping to RFTs, but will still carry a wheel if thought prudent when remote, to ensure mobility.
What about the X3, or other model users (including the M-cars) with non RFTs from factory? Their situation is even more critical, if they have a simple puncture, let alone a tire failure.
