New trunk set up-spare

PeteW84 · 06-11-2010, 10:20 PM

Hi fellas, since I ditched the OEM Run flats for Invo's I ended up with this set up in my trunk. It's the BavAuto spare tire kit for e90/92 three series. The kit includes: a spare tire and a tool/jack set, the black bag. The spare clears both rear and front brakes without a problem. It takes away some trunk space, but there's still plenty of room left. As you can see I used a rachet tie down and the OEM trunk net to hold everything in place.

Most likely, if not you always have the rear seats.

You know, you can put the tools in the space under the trunk mat, since these are the OEM tools, they fit right in their assigned spaces, including the jack. That gets you some additional trunk space, or you can use the nice bag they provide with the tools to hold extra oil, a compressor, etc. Mine stows the jumper cables.

Nice Spare.

Never thought to put my golf bag in the back seat.

I have the same spare set up and I can fit my clubs back there no problem.

Is there anyway I can fit a spare and a baby stroller in the trunk.

I bought non-run flats and a spare and then realized there is a baby on the way

hmmmmm..... maybe no stroller for me?

Would you be able to place a suitcase on top of the wheel?

yes, but it depends on the depth of the suitcase, of course. We took a one-month road trip and still had room for all the luggage, computer bag, etc. in the trunk with this spare. Room left over for a couple shopping bags of books, too.

I was pleasantly surprised at how little space it really takes up, particularly with the wheel dish on top and the tools underneath the trunk liner, because you can use that space.

A suitcase should fit no problem, but I'm not sure about a baby stroller.
