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.
