Spacesaver spare wheel and jack

Well after selling mine I wanted to get a BMW jack, and while I was browsing I found these:-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... r&_sacat=0

As you have a 2.5Si a 16" one should fit if you've got standard brakes - it's only 3.0Sis that need a 17" because the front brakes are bigger. I'd stick to 3 Series ones as I'm pretty sure 5 Series wheels have a larger centre bore.

Good luck.

Been looking for a 16inch space saver for my recently aquired 2.5 of 2003 vintage, run flats long gone and I don't want to rely on a tin of tyre gunk. Already carry a 12v compressor and don't mind filling the boot with a space saver. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for, will any 16inch Bmw space saver fit? Jack is easy enough to pick up.

Will need to be a 16" off an e46... others may fit as well but e46 version is a guaranteed fit

Should be pretty cheap like: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221520447462

I bought an e46 16 in on eBay the other week for £30.I have tried it on and it clears the front callipers .

That link kis provided is exactly what you want for any E85 that isn't an M or a 3.0Si, and Quarry Motors seem pretty good.

Because I sold my jack as part of the package with my 17" space-saver, I wanted a replacement. I ordered from Quarry Motors on Tuesday evening and it arrived yesterday - cost just £19.99 delivered.

I'd personally recommend quarry as well. They actually listing things at reasonable prices, so defo worth checking out. Maybe even bookmarking!

Hi all quick update, I have the spacesaver now, I just need a jack. Will a universal scissor jack be suitable?
Thanks Steve

An e46 jack will fit the z4 jacking points

Worth trying E-Bay, lots on there. I picked up an E46 16" spacesaver, with jack and wheel brace for £42 delivered this week. Also found a cheapo zipped bag to put it in for less than a tenner. I'll probably never use it but nice to know its there
