Where is the spare tire of the BMW 730?

BMW 730 does not have a spare tire. The vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires across the entire lineup. Run-flat tires, also known as zero-pressure tires, have thicker sidewalls, allowing the vehicle to continue driving for dozens of kilometers at a certain speed even when the tire is flat or punctured without being affected. Equipping the car with such tires enhances safety performance and eliminates the need to carry a spare tire. The BMW 730 is the entry-level model of the BMW 7 Series, with dimensions of 5212mm in length, 1902mm in width, and 1478mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3210mm. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 400 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1550 and 4500 rpm, and the maximum power output between 5000 and 6500 rpm.
I've been driving a BMW 730 for several years, and the spare tire is usually under the trunk floor. You need to lift the trunk liner, and there's a dedicated spare tire compartment underneath, which contains a folding spare or a compact spare. Many BMW models use Run-Flat tires, so some cars don't even come with a spare tire—instead, they have an inflation and repair kit in the storage compartment. If you can't find it, check the owner's manual or the small cover on the side wall of the trunk. If the spare is missing, it might be because the previous owner forgot to put it back. I recommend checking the spare tire pressure regularly to avoid issues in emergencies. Before a long trip, it's best to practice the tire-changing steps—the tools are right next to the spare. BMW's design is quite smart, but the spare tire compartment can accumulate water and rust, so remember to clean it thoroughly. Safety first—if you get a flat, don't push it; pull over and change the tire.
