Hi - I am new to the forum.
I have had my Z4 for four years and love everything about it.
It’s 2008 with 48,000 miles.
My query today is what size of space saver wheel should I buy.
I have 18 inch run flats on and I am moving to ordinary tyres still 18 inch so will need a space saver wheel but I have been given conflicting advice from two sources.
My question is what is the best size of space saver and any suggestions where I can get one at a good price
Thanks in anticipation of your help
I live in Northern Ireland

Space saver size?
So it's a facelift then.
If it has standard brake sizes you'll need a 16" spacesaver, unless it is a 3.0Si and then you'll need a 17" one to clear the front brakes. (If it's an M I have no idea)!
E46 3 Series all came on non run-flats and had a spacesaver so that's the best thing to look for, but if you need a 17" one it'll need to come from a 330i or 330d as they also had bigger front brakes.
Probably worth trying to get an E46 jack too, and a wheel-brace unless you've got something suitable.
Nearly forgot, welcome to the forum too!
We'd love to see a photo or 2.
