you pay extra, you lose space, you're left with a load floor higher than the opening which means you will constantly have things falling out when you open the back hatch on any uphill park. there is no side rails for cargo management, and for all of this you get a mini spare. owned my last bmw five years never once had a tire issue. did however take my aftermarket aluminum "fence" from my previous car, volvo xc60 r design, which fit perfectly into the holes on top of the sliding rail locks which allows me to put groceries or home improvement supplies, or garden plants, etc back there and not worry about it going everywhere. I would not give that up for non run flats given the reliability of the modern tires.
