Hi Al.
My wife will never ever change tires. As far as she's concerned - that's a man's job. That's why we've always had AAA.
I dont like changing tires either, that's why not only we have AAA, I also have the BMW Optional Road Side Assistance. I pay extra for this every year as I have asked many times from dealership and BMW of NA and no one can tell for sure if the M5 roadside assistance we have with the car when purchased new is transferrable to subsequent owners as I am not the original owner of my beast.
Since I have all three road side assistance benefits above, someone better freaking come ASAP whenever I get a flat tire!
BTW, my wife doesnt drive my beast. Only me.
And for protection in case I get a flat tire in a bad neighborhood, I have a 357 Smith & Wesson Mag and a Sig P226 40 for personal protection from the bad guys.
I am just curious why BMW opted not to install a spare tire on M5's.
Does the E46 M3 or the new E60 M5 have spare tire?
All M cars have no spare tire?
Whatheheck,
Even if the car had a spare, would you really want your wife to be out changing the tire in a "dodgy" part of town, late at night?
I would have her lock the doors and call you, and then AAA.
