Spare Wheel Kit

[fastguy]

Hi All,


My wifes 120i, is currently running on RFT's, planning on changing to normal wheels as she is complaining of the hard ride from them.

Any suggestions on a biscuit spare wheel in terms of size, special bolts etc?

Stealers quoted me R3900 for a kit, containing wheel, jack and spanner.


Help Please......

Sorry I cant help with the kit myself, I do have a question though.

Would changing the tyres not affect your motorplan ?

I have heard several conflicting view points on this.

I've been using normal tires for 2 years. I bought a tyre puncture spray can from Midas to use in case of a puncture. I will never use RF's again.

Did they ever give you an issue when you had the serviced ?

I think my dealer is blowing smoke, says it would void my motorplan blah blah blah, I think he is talking crap.

I want to support RFT technology, but not be forced to buy BMW Approved tyre brands only - the Continental RFT's I have currently are horrible compared to the Hankook RFT's that I briefly tried out! So I reckon I will eventually ditch the RFT's and replace with normal tyres, and at the same time upgrade to 18"...

I've had three cars on motorplan and on all of them I changed the run flats. They did tell me at first that it will affect motorplan and blah blah blah.. Don't worry doesn't affect anything,if you want to,do it. I agree with Philip Foglar,we shouldn't be forced into the idea of RFT's because they crap tires :thumbdo:

Had no issue with it.

I reckon they just saying it will affect the motorplan cos you wont buy tires from them

R3900 is probably a ballpark figure for the kit.

I bought my stuff in bits and pieces, and it came to R3000, and I don't have a nice bag to keep the spare wheel in.

FYI: I bought the jack kit seperately, and then sourced an E46 steel space saver spare wheel, and fitted a new marie biscuit onto that.

Jack kit = R1050, Spare wheel = R1000 and spare tyre = R700.

I must actually make enquiries again - last time I was quoted about R2800, but that was last year...

I'm selling my RFT's soon and going for 18's, in the states I always had a can of foam, and there was a time where I had to use it, worked perfectly fine, drove at 60km/h till I got to where I needed to be.
