Looking for meaningful dialogue on this topic.
Inartfully stated on their part, but technically correct.

The 2 Series base condition is the 228i. That base condition has RFT standard. The resulting lack of a spare tire well precludes the opportunity for a spare for any model derived from this current configuration of the platform, no matter what variety of tires is fitted to the wheels.

However, once one gets to the M235i model of the 2 Series they tested (or 228i with Track Package), Michelin PSS are included. They are not RFT, therefore the need for the inflator kit.

BTW, bimmerzone is working on minispare kits (jacks/tools, etc) for the standard and blue caliper brakes for 228i and M235i, which can be less intrusive when stored/tied-down in the trunk.
