There was no space under the trunk and it took some space inside instead. It was worth it cause it became a totaly different car on Michelin PS2s at the time. Was reading this thread to see if I can get the mobility kit version on my on order X3MC but don't think 19" spare will fit. Getting the default hump trunk version instead.

I agree the car should have been designed better. After doing a spare retrofit solution, its clear that a few modifications could allow the spare to fit (while fully inflated) under the standard trunk. I'd really like to talk to a BMW engineer who knows why they didn't design it this way.
