BMW 540i xDrive Spare Tire

The BMW 540i xDrive, part of the esteemed 5 Series, is known for its blend of performance, luxury, and technological sophistication. However, like many modern vehicles, it doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire, a trend in the automotive industry aimed at reducing weight and increasing fuel efficiency. For those looking to mitigate the risk of being stranded due to a flat tire, BMW offers a range of mobility solutions. Specifically, the automaker provides an optional spare tire kit, which can be purchased through BMW's parts and accessories department. This kit typically includes a compact, space-saver spare tire designed to be used temporarily and should not be seen as a permanent replacement for a full-sized tire. The specific size for the BMW 540i xDrive's spare tire kit is not universally standardized and can vary depending on the model year and wheel size of the vehicle. It's crucial for owners to consult the vehicle's manual or reach out to a BMW dealer to ensure compatibility. This approach allows drivers to prepare for emergencies without compromising the vehicle's performance or storage capacity under normal driving conditions.

BMW 540i xDrive models manufactured from 2017 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 26.7" to 27.8", 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 540i xDrive years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 540i xDrive vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.9" to 28.6". Some 540i xDrive 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 540i xDrive spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
