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.
