Having a spare tire seems like a waste of money and unsafe(in the US, many drivers don't respect the shoulder, so you're very likely to get hit while changing the tire) BMW should just delete the spare tire and put the mobility kit in the X1 like they do for Europe.

I actually have an inflator and tire patch kit in the car and have been thinking about removing the spare tire lol. My e90 didn't have a spare, neither did my f32. I could do more with the extra space on a daily basis, and in Hawaii they've eliminated the shoulder on the freeway in many areas to add lanes so changing a tire on the side of the road is hazardous at best.
