For those who have visited a Studio, does the Air have a spare tire? Oak Brook Studio, car is completely roped off.
Something about an early beta.No spare tire. We carry a portable compressor/tire repair kit in all our cars, as spare tires are rapidly vanishing from the automotive scene:

Did you ask why the car at Oak Brook was roped off? We've been able to sit in and play with some features in cars at both Florida studios, and many YouTube videos of studio visits show people sitting in the cars.
hi you had mention you have an extra wheelYep spare tires going the way of the Dodo. Also tools to fix your car ( my 74 BMW CSI had a beautiful 30 piece tool kit and spare part container tucked away in the trunk lid) also printed owners manuals ( all digital in many cases)
Add BMW to the list of companies that don't provide spares (although for some models it is an option).Neither our 2015 Tesla Model S nor our 2021 Model S Plaid have spares. Nor does our 2018 Honda Odyssey. Nor did any of my three Audi R8's or the Mercedes SL55 AMG that preceded them. We carry a tire repair kit with a portable compressor in each of our cars. Lots less weight and takes up almost no space. Plus you don't need to haul around a jack and lug wrench.
That goes for Minis as well. A cousin of mine bought one recently and was surprised when she saw there wasn't one. It's definitely something some people have to get used to.Add BMW to the list of companies that don't provide spares (although for some models it is an option).
IMO, it's a good move with how good roadside service is these days. Tire patch kits help too if you don't have a crazy puncture.Add BMW to the list of companies that don't provide spares (although for some models it is an option).
Curious do you lease or buy your vehicles?Neither our 2015 Tesla Model S nor our 2021 Model S Plaid have spares. Nor does our 2018 Honda Odyssey.
