Space Saver Wheel, Can anyone help?

Anyone know of a suitable 18" space saver wheel, doesn't have to be BMW? As I don't plan on using it (fingers crossed) I would rather pick up a second hand/fleabay one.

E46 is the wheel of choice as they are common and cheap.

Why 18" though - a 17" will fit yours unless you have modified the front brakes to larger sized?

I presumed that as my current tyre size is 18" I would need 18's?

Never assume.
Unless you have facelift 3.0si brakes then a 17" fits.
Take a look inside your rim and see the space.
Rolling radius is near the same as a highe profile tye is used.

I've got an e46 space saver spare in 16 inch size that I was told should fit. My car is a 2.0 though.
