Probably the keep alive as it is not a huge capacity item. My 435i battery would go nearly flat when I left it for two weeks during business trips ended up using a battery maintainer. With even more to run in the background makes sense to add a specific small unit.

I know this thread is old, but were you able to order the trunk floor panel for cars that don't come with a spare? If so, did it fit properly? I'm in the same boat you were. My car came with both a spare and runflats (unfortunately), and I'd like to get some of the trunk space back.

I'm working on this right now. I ordered the rubber mat instead of the carpet because it was $100 as opposed to like $300. I just need to put a piece of plywood under it

I ended up buying this: https://www.bmwpartspros.com/oem-par...er-51477438290 Works as expected

Hi!
I accidentally got my g20 with a space saver, and now my trunk is 2 times smaller, any idea, what can I do to increase a space in the trunk?
I was trying to remove it, but the cover on the top doesn't fit when the tire is removed. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you remove the space saver you need to buy a new (non space saver) cover. Don’t know if you need anything else.

Does anyone know of a handle on the cover? I have to use a screwdriver or knife to lift mine.
