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.

BMW 328is models manufactured from 1996 to 1999 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.7" to 24.9", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific BMW 328is years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 328is vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24" to 25.6". Some 328is models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct BMW 328is spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
