F54 w/ spare

An option on the F54 S Clubman is a spare.
YAHOO!!!!
Will that $100 option include a jack, tire iron, inflate apparatus, etc.?

Probably not an inflator (the US spec MINIs never do), but most likely a jack and tire iron. The spare fits nicely under the cargo floor. They come with run flats either way so I guess it's a question on whether you want to give up cargo room or not.

I spoke with the Mini Rep. when the F54 came to visit our dealer in Santa Ana CA.
He said the spare would fit under the storage area, not inside.
Anyone have any first hand info on the $100 spare tire/tool/inflation-device option for
the F54S ?
We make a 350 mile run through the desert from Southern CA. to Mammoth Lakes. To be without a spare in that area is ........

Here's what it looks like (attached). The spare tire goes in the storage area - without the spare tire option, this space is empty.

Thanks Siri

Is that a steel wheel upon which you could mount a real tire?

Storing the tools inside the space is a very clever touch!
