Quick Question about E46 spare tire

the e46 m3 has no spare. The e46 normal vareity you could get a full sized spare, of this I am certain.

And I am under the impression that the e90s don't have a spare, but I don't know, I haven't checked it out.

E46 M3's have the Fix a flat
E46 sedans have full size spares, if you get sport package theres a stagared size from front to rear, you get a front rim size for a spare
E46 coupes dependant on model year have full size or dounuts
E46 convertables have dounuts

E90s no spare like said before due to run flats

Just incase y'all were wondering the whole in the trunk for the spare can fit up to tire size 225. Anything bigger and she won't fit. I was barely able to fit in my 225/50-16 spare even then, it juts out of the opening a little.

I know I have a full size spare in my e46, I would have thought e46 m3s would to though, in the coupe at least.

I just bought my wife an '01 325xi sport wagon and the spare was hiding under the rear floor, under a false floor that looked like where the spare should go, it kinda freaked me out. I'll have to post pics

E46 M3 had runflats -- no spare
Runflats were optional on some later models -- these have no spare
