I always chuck the spare in the boot or on the roofrack if we're going offroad, but other than that *touch wood* I've not had the spare with me since I got the car. Watch me have a puncture on the 200 mile drive home tomorrow

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that as an option but it sounds like a good one to me.

Thanks.

hi, we also have a X5 with the floor option. For my wife, being a bit short it is a great option. We use it all the time, even a weekly shop is easier to unload.
For loading heavy objects it works very well.
There are tie down rings on the side. The gap in the X5 is only small, like from zero to 50mm, but if something falls off the back, like an umbrella, then you can't slide the floor back. Its rated at 150kg, but thats for sliding, we have put a lot more on it.
