As title, does anyone know whether a Steel Space Saver Wheel for a 5 Series E60/61 will fit a 335i M-Sport ?????????????

It is 17", but not sure about locating spigot size, bolt PCD ?

WHEEL: 4B x 17 - ET:18

TYRE: 135/80 R17 102M

Thanks.

It might do, but I'd wager that an E46 330d 17" space saver would fit without issue as I believe the MV3's and 225's fit the E46 without a problem PCD wise.

I have already been looking for E46 17" Space Savers, but seem to be quite rare, plenty of 15" & 16" ones on ebay etc.

Missed one 17", but it went for £200 !!!!!!.

There are a couple E60 kits (wheel, jack, brace etc) available hence the question.

Yes the E60 spare will work on the 335. Fits perfectly with the big brakes as well. I got a spare from a 550I. Below was some research done by a member here stating the facts he uncovered. Like I said it works great for me. I have a 07 335I.

Don't know about the Leather-Z one personally, heard it works but requires a spacer. There was a thread on Bimmerforums a couple of months ago where a poster discovered that the E60 retrofit spare kit works on the E9x series without a spacer. It is a 17" spare and he claimed it fit on perfectly. When I called the BMW parts dealer he used (Tischer BMW), the sales guy suggested that the E60 kit does work with the E9x, and there was enough of a spike in sales (around the time of the post), that the kit went on backorder. I ordered one and it should be in by the end of the week. I'll try to get it on next week and see whether it works properly. If so, it is a much cheaper option. The entire E60 kit (plus shipping?) was around $270 as opposed to the $305+ shipping for the Leather Z one.
