I think a few people on here have bought the one from an E46 3 series,someone will be along to confirm that 
I don't think there was ever a specific one for the Z4 (not that I've seen anyway!).
As Red says, people go for the E46 spare, 17" or 16" - depending on your brake sizes.

I got a 17" e46 space saver from a scrappers. My 3.0si needed a minimum 17" for enough brake caliper clearance. BMW never made a specific space saver for the Z4...
eBay is your friend - search E46 spare. One there now at £17 with 24 hours to go.
I have the 17" to clear larger calipers.
If you post you vehicle details in the signature we can advise which is the smallest to fit.

Of course not, hence the Zed is equipped with RFT's. However those who fit non RFT's need either gunk (and a compressor) or a spare. I for one keep a spare in the garage and sometimes in the car on longer runs, such that if a flat should happen I can at least cruise for a day or so until I buy or repair the tyre at sensible not rip off emergency prices.
I had no problems getting one. Just go for an E46. 16" will do unless you have a model with the larger front calipers, then you'll need the rarer 17" (as I did)
