My LeatherZ space saver in my E90 trunk

thanks for the awsome sale fotios330i!!

I have decided to sacrifice trunk space for security during a flat tire or a blow out (please lord bless us). Therefore here are 2 pics of the spare in my trunk..I know its pricey, but im sure it will be worth every penny during a Catastrophic event to a tire.

Not bad at all, it takes minimal amount of space I think!

Does the spare move around? If not, how did you secure it?

Is there room underneth in the trunk? I see something that looks like you can lift up the flooring. Is there storage underneth?

The wheel does not move around..Yes there is a compartment below the wheel but too small for the tire..

I'd secure the spare with bungee cords or similar.

Looks great

How's fitment? I understand use of a spacer is required to clear the hub/brakes?

I was planning on getting on of those tire totes cover and wrapping up one of my OEM 156 wheel to use as a spare when I wean myself off the RFTs.

Where'd you get it from? I would love to see it actually on the car

NVMD, Saw it on LeatherZ's website. Which package did you get?
