I have the 20" rims and a 17" spare - The spare has a sticker on it warning not to exceed 130mph!

The stick on my 17" spare has something like that too although I cannot remember if it was 130K or 130MPH I thought this was a mistake to be honest. For autobahn only  >:D

It is 130mph - I assumed for Autobahn users also, although a kph figure would make more sense!

My spare wheel (assume as everyones) is standard road wheels on a basic X5, so not a temporary wheel - As said before though will be different width from wheel on opposite side so caution required.
