Spare tire kit

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hello all,

Is it possible to install the OEM spare tire kit in an X3M that came with the mobility kit?

Thanks in advance.

Possible? Sure, but that will require a lot of parts. A vehicle that comes with a spare tire has this hump in the trunk that takes up more trunk space.

Right. The dealer is saying it can’t be done, that’s all, and I don’t see why, although I could not find a spare tire kit on the bmw parts website.

Starting with identical chassis, if you found two owners that each wanted what the other had, I don't see why you couldn't do a parts swap and both be happy. Coming from an M40i, I didn't even know about the hump when I ordered the M. Luckily, I watched an early review that lamented the hump and was still in time to modify my order.

Thanks. So, RoWoX3M If I buy the car I’ll gladly swap your hump for my flat trunk bed!!

Your Dealer is incorrect – this has been done by more than a few over on the G01 subforum. This was discussed by mjdth and others in a thread back in Aug 2018: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1521505

If you end up with the car I'm in Maryland so it doesn't look like we are terribly far away from each other

I noticed that. I’d be happy to make the trip when we both feel comfy doing so.

Thanks!

I have the spare tire kit and would love to swap it for the mobility kit if anyone close to Washington state wants to swap. Based on the other thread, it looks like it was a success.
