    Any collectors out there? Original spare wheel / tire

    I have an original spare that came out of my car, still fitted with the factory Goodyear NCT65. Build date 1988 lolz. Anyone interested?

    I doubt it, but - I pulled the spare from my parts car, it says "Made in West Germany". 1987. hahaha..

      Yeah, it's just taking up space in my garage, thought I'd throw it out there for any period-correct collectors want a spare. Not looking for money just want to free up space. I think it's cool but it's pointless and I'm turning into one of those freaks on those hoarding shows.

        Free bump to ask a question - can you tell me what size wheel and tire this is? I bought an oem weave wheel with tire to replace my missing spare, but the setup is too tall and too deep to fit in the spare tire wheel in the trunk of my 1991 325ic!

        Thanks.

          It's a standard 14" bottlecap with the 185/65-14 tire.

              look for the spare tire from an 1988 325ix. only this exact year.

              only e30 to come with a donut. iirc.

              i was quite surprised when i lifted up the trunk mat.

                it's not really a doughnut - it's a full sized spare on a 14" steel wheel. heavy as fuck too!

                    My import 318i came with one of those.
