Just a guess.
As long as you don't have x-drive and it doesn't hit your brake I would say yes. Hopefully someone can confirm this. |

You can use an online calculator to find the circumference of the spare based on wheel and tire size and compare it to the others. Conventional wisdom says for xDrive you should keep it within 1%, but the factory staggered setup is more like 1.2% and apparently that is fine long term. I'd try to keep it in that range but exceeding it by a little bit is probably fine so long as you are not driving far.

It’s not a problem at all to run a donut spare. However, if you have AWD, then as long as the spare tire’s diameter/revs per mile is < 1% difference in rolling diameter/revs per mile. One thing I’ve nowith three different BMW x-drive is it likes to have the rear tire to be slightly taller than the front (still < 1% difference still applies).
