I really have to question BMW\'s decision to not include a spare tire on a utility vehicle like the x3. I just looked under the back and there is a ton of room underneath to fit a muffler to either side and leave room for a spare tire if they chose to. And the weight saving excuse of not lugging around a spare tire goes out the window when you consider that the factory 19\" with RFT weigh in at a whopping 69lbs! Compared to the 18\" with standard tires I just put on for the winter that are 52lbs. So that\'s 68 lbs of unsprung weight that I\'m lugging around instead of a spare tire? Um, I\'d rather have the spare please.
