Introducing Road Hero, a space-saver spare wheel and tyre kit for a BMW M3 E93 (from 2007 to 2013), complete with everything you need for complete peace-of-mind when you're on the road.
More and more manufacturers are supplying vehicles with repair kits instead of a proper spare wheel and tyre. They say that this is because it saves on weight, but the reality is that it's just another way for them to cut costs. Many drivers would prefer a spare wheel and tyre to get them home safely - that's where Road Hero comes in!
Your Road Hero kit includes a space-saver wheel and tyre, jack, wheel brace, storage bags and more. Nuts, bolts, and spigot rings are also supplied where required. Everything supplied with the Road Hero Space Saver Wheel and Tyre Kit can be conveniently stowed away inside the provided storage bags. All Road Hero kits come with a 2 year structural warranty.

Will this definitely fit my car?
This spare wheel kit has been designed specifically to fit your car. Several factors are taken into consideration including wheel size, tyre size, stud pattern, brake caliper clearance and load rating.
Please note that the size of the spare wheel itself may be different to the size of the wheels that are on your vehicle. This is not important - the crucial measurement is the combined diameter of the wheel and tyre, as shown in the diagram. We call this the "rolling radius", and it has to be within 10% of the size of your original wheels and tyres.
This Road Hero Spare Wheel and Tyre has been developed to fit your vehicle. As long as you have selected the correct vehicle you can rest assured that it will fit. If you're not sure which kit is suitable for your vehicle, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
