Spare tires on all X4s are mounted differently than X3s. I'm not sure why, but it may because the X4's slightly wider rear track allows the spare to be mounted lower and more flush. With the spare installed, the X4's floor is slightly lower than the lip (rather than considerably higher as with the X3).
