Sadly, it won't. The G30 has a different bold pattern than the E60/F10/E92/F8x cars. I believe it's 5 x 112, rather than the "standard" 5 x 120.

Question for you folks with the space saver spare.
Car came with 20" run flats - can I just order this space saver tyre + kit and it gets installed under the trunk floor? |

Since you asked... This option is a dealbreaker for me. I would find the sacrifice in trunk space much too costly for what's gained.

Recently ordered a 545e and the dealer said to me that BMW are doing away with the automatic tailgate feature altogether. It will not be found on any 5er going forward.

My dealer told me the electronic close feature stays but you lose the ability to waive your foot for the "hands free".

Yea I was going to ask what was meant by getting rid of the automatic tailgate. Seemed unlikely to me it would not be electronically assisted any longer or that you wouldn't be able to open it with your key fob or something. The open it with you foot feature sucks anyway. Whenever I am headed fro the truck with my hands full I give it a shot. I've gotten to open it when I wanted it to.. like once. hah. Maybe I just need more practice. No.. must be the car's fault.

That is so bizarre they are actively taking it away.
In my view, the BMW implementation of the 'wave foot to open/close trunk' is one of the most consistently working implementations I've seen - and the convenience factor immediately shows itself anytime one has their arms full. Even if both were to be considered fanciful delusions on my part, other manufacturers offer it, so to remove a feature that others continue to offer, doesn't seem like sound business sense to me. |

Only spare size for g30 is 18" rim. The tire diameter matters not the rim size. It's T135/80R18 which is the same diameter (26.5") as the oe tires whether 18,19 or 20". As long as all 4 are the same diameter you're fine for limited driving. I'd recommend deactivating DSC completely while on spare as it deactivate most of stuff transfer case is doing. |

Thanks for posting this. Just had our g30 delivered, and the spare was one of the options I chose. I was surprised at the amount of trunk space lost to this kit. Now that I can see the results of removing it, I may put it in the basement until the run-flats are replaced.

For those that ditch the runflats and still want a spare, look here.
It's what I got and tie straps right between the rear hooks in trunk, still allowing plenty of room. I went with the full kit, including bag for $469. You need spacer if you have M brakes. https://modernspare.com/product/2017...e-kit-options/

I gambled and didn't opt for the spare tire. I ordered with 19" wheels with all-season run flats (which will get changed for non-run flats in short order), and a road side assistance package, saving that area for storage. Just a different approach.
