1999 BMW 328is Spare Tire
BMW 328is models, specifically from the E36 generation (1992-1999), often came equipped with a compact spare tire, commonly referred to as a "donut" spare. This compact spare tire is smaller than the vehicle's standard tires, designed to save space and weight in the vehicle, thus enhancing performance and fuel efficiency. The typical size for a BMW 328is compact spare is marked as T125/90R15, where "T" signifies it is a temporary spare tire, "125" represents the tire's width in millimeters, "90" is the aspect ratio (indicating the height is 90% of the tire's width), "R" indicates a radial construction, and "15" denotes the wheel diameter in inches. While it's crucial to verify the specific requirements for your vehicle, this size is generally applicable. Spare tires for the BMW 328is are available through BMW dealerships, automotive parts retailers, and online marketplaces. Given their role as a temporary solution, designed only for limited use at reduced speeds until a full-sized tire can be obtained or repaired, it is essential for owners to familiarize themselves with the specifications and limitations of their BMW's spare tire.
1999 BMW 328is comes with 2 OEM tire size options.
