Never seen one but back in the day I carried a widow maker and space saver tire kit in the trunk.

How much trunk space is left over after doing this? I barely have enough space for a week long trip as is

It wasn't too bad in a coupe but it was still annoying so I stopped carrying all that stuff and just have the Continental tire patch kit, which is "tpms friendly"

Well-it's pretty bad in an M coupe due to that battery hump

I have the tire kit that comes with the M cars. The great thing about it is that it has a grippy bottom and doesn't go flying around all over the place during, errr, moments of enthusiasm.

I think this space-saver tire is your best option:

Roadster Solutions has a non-permanent trunk rack.

I guess it helps to read more carefully.

He could do a roof rack.
