It took a day and half to fix a flat! Why do people keep saying how well this worked out, it should have been 15 minutes.
Yes, it cost him no cash from his wallet, but if on a trip to close a business deal it could have cost him dearly. |

Also, under the circumstance, BMW did a very good job with the resources available to them in BFE. I felt relieved that they took the time and effort to get my car to a place who could replace the tire with confidence safely and without damage to my car. Everyone truly seemed like they cared about the end result. It was quite satisfying.

Someone has probably already answered this but I bought the tire insurance with my 330 and went through 3 tires replaced with no problem. So I bought same with this car since I tend to go through my tires, only covers damage, not simple wear and tear but I got my money's worth for sure.

Spare wheel/tire
BMW should really have the wheel/tire as a preconfigured accessory, even if it's not included with the car. As you note, the tires are not easily found in many areas one might be travelling.

Tire/wheel insurance
I've never had nonrepairable damage (just nails, etc.) in 8 years of M3 ownership, so I didn't get it.

at no cost each instance.. The same applies to the factory wheels if you damage them via road hazzard..

Tire insurance
Thanks! That is what I was referring to since my first post on this thread...
On regards to this "Tire insurance" is it something that you do directly with BMW? A special and EXTRA plan they offer that cover any tire problem and replaces it no questions asked?

I think Audis used to have full size spare.
BMW's no spare policy is really terrible. Tell that this is the kind of Joy drivers want to experience in the middle of nowhere.

if i were going to take a long road trip through unpopulated areas, I would always have a spare. it's great that BMW came through, but I couldn't stand a 5 hour drive w/ a tow truck driver. no way. |

When I got if from the dealer I was told I could only go to the dealer I purchased it in order for it to be honored. But they never gave me a hard time, even if it was a nail and they replaced the tires. The only thing I wondered is if this happens out of town, can you get a credit from them through another dealer. As for the M it sounds like some people carry a spare, how is that, no room with everything I else I carry in my trunk.

Spare
It does take up some room, but it is only 5" wide (high lying on the trunk floor). Tough if you are travelling fully-loaded, though.
