Nope... no spare, E46 M3 has no spare either nor the new E60 M5. The exhaust take up the space where the spare wheel goes.

You will notice your spare wheel is located slightly to the right side. Because of the quad exhaust we don't get one, instead we get a crappy M Mobility kit.

Yes but I am guessing the Honda Civic has run flats. We don't, but also in addition to the M Mobility kit M drivers get lifetime BMW assist.

Duct tape when you run over a cow. insulation tape if you need to tape up electricals.

If he had not thought about the girls and drink already then it really does not matter to him.

I was watching cannonball 8000 last night the cars were stopped around the corner from the hotel in munich first thing in the morning breathalising and checking insurance/docs. after that they were stopped on the road 100 miles outside munich. one car got through but pulled in for petrol and was collared for the same. seems like a wild weekend.

I think you'll find the TJ Hunter Portable Scent-Free Disposable Pocket Urinal Toilet should do the trick....
