Took mine out for an amp. Only time it ever goes in is if I am going to be in the boonies where my phone won't work and it is going to be night time.

That has only happened once.

Suitcase won't fit with the spare in, so it's gone.

M-Mobility kit from the Bimmer store is in there instead.

You have to use the spare on the front, and with the car lowered, the front bumper would be scraping the ground, so the spare tire is totally useless. I carry a cell phone instead of a spare tire.
good point, how much lower than stock would you have to be to make this true?? (with an oem lip....)

I'm not sure where mine is anymore... took it out the first day, maybe in my parents attic somewhere?

Can of fix-a-flat + bag of tools with good jumper cables and such in there now (for helping other people mostly). AAA for any time I'd get a flat with phone reception.

Plus then you can get or make a flat cover for the area and get rid of that hideous bulge (I'll admit I've been too lazy to do this so far but it is still on my list of to-do's).

What exactly is the M-Mobility kit?

What does it consist of and how does it fit?

Where can we get it and how much?

Thanks

It sounds like the CR kit, which I'd guess fits nicely if you get the styrofoam. Is it?
