E46 330d space saver.

[Dominic H]

Afternoon.

Does anyone know what the correct size 'space saver' I should have with a 2003 330d sport on 18" MV 2's?
Seem to be missing mine, I 've checked the tyre warehouse I normally use but there's no sign of it. Need to buy another but not sure which is the correct fitment.

Thanks in advance.

Are you SURE it's not under the plastic false floor?

Mine was!!! Haha, I nearly bought one on the 'Bay (a 17" is supposed to fit) and someone on here told me to check once more.... I was glad!

You, er hit the nail right on the head.

I called the local BMW dealer to order the steel spare, and the lad in the parts dept was adamant that I check beneath the wheel well. It turns out that most people who order the new space saver, try and return when they find the original was there all the time.

I checked, and you and him were spot on. So thanks very much you just saved me a £100!

Cheers!

Sometimes you need someone to tell you (very politely) that you're being a dumbass, and the damn thing really is in the boot!

Cheers BaB!
