BMW 525i Spare Tire

The BMW 525i, a model celebrated for its blend of luxury and performance within the 5 Series lineup, typically equips a space-saver spare tire aimed at maximizing efficiency and space within its design parameters. This compact spare, often referred to as a "donut," is designed for temporary use, to get the vehicle to a service point for tire repair or replacement. For the BMW 525i, especially models produced in the late 2000s, the common spare tire size you might expect to find is a T135/80R17 or similar, though specific sizes can vary by model year and wheel options originally purchased with the vehicle. It's crucial for owners to verify the correct spare tire size for their specific vehicle, which can typically be found in the owner's manual or on placards located in the vehicle, such as inside the driver's door jamb or the trunk area where the spare is stored. Availability of spare tires for the BMW 525i is generally high, with options to purchase directly from BMW dealers, automotive parts retailers, or through reputable online vendors that specialize in OEM or aftermarket automotive parts.

BMW 525i models manufactured from 1990 to 2007 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.4" to 25.9", 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 525i years and trims.
