I want to change my RF to regular tires but need to get a spare. I do have MPerformance breaks on my 435i and don't know what spare tire will work on it. I did look in Real Oem for the spare tire but the kit that they have said that it doesn't fit to a MPerformance break car. Any suggestions? Thanks

you'll have to create your own spare with an OEM 18" wheel such as 400M or 397, with a 225/45/18.

You're not going to like the price though @ $335


I have the Blue M4 370/345 calipers/rotors on my 2015 F32 435. I was assured by Bimmerzone that this would work WITH the larger performance brakes.

I purchased the spare & it does indeed fit on any/all of the positions front/rear.

They will include a 5MM spacer with corresponding longer lug bolts in case you need them, but I didn't on my car...


The notation they have on larger brakes is:

This is a completely bolt on solution for OEM brake setups. However this WILL NOT fit aftermarket Big Brake Kits or Carbon Ceramic Brakes.

$335 for the wheel/tire is expensive but all things considered, not too bad imo.

a full size wheel and tire would cost about that much and more often than not, anything compact and light will usually cost more than something that's full sized.

the rest of the supporting items can be obtained at a much cheaper price from amazon, ebay, or locally.

Back when I had my 2009 E92 I started out with a full size spare - too heavy and pretty much used all the available trunk space - PITA to keep taking in and out - so I finally got a compact spare for that car

Went right for the CS 1st for the 2015. Compact spare only half the height & much lighter
