WTD: e46 17" Space Saver & Jack

[DeanoZ4]

Hi Guys,

Recently replaced my RFTs for Falken 452s which is the best thing I've done. I'm happy to carry gunk around for short journeys in the event of a puncture but ideally would like a space saver for longer journeys.

Does anybody have a e46 17" for sale (I think that would fit my 2004 3.0, 18" 108s) with jack or know of one for sale. I've looked on ebay and the local ads but they're few and far between for a 17".

Thanks
DeanoZ4.

With a 2004 3.0 you'll be okay with a 16" (I know A11y has one and is running 16" "winter" setup) it is the facelift 3.0Si Sport that needs the 17" (or anyone who's done a calliper upgrade).

Otherwise, I bought a new 17" space saver from Soper, an unused Volvo space saver with the same size tyre and had it put on the BMW wheel. Actually worked out cheaper than getting a 3 series wheel from eBay. If you can be bothered with the effort! The big win was the Volvo wheel for about £15.

Cheers for the advice

Ah, yeah as PawnSacrifice says you'd have got away with a 16" spare (I'm currently running 16" alloys with winter tyres) but a 17" will obviously be fine too. I was under the same impression previously too hence why I also have a 17" space-saver rather than a 16"
