Haven't seen any mention here of anyone using a wheel/tire from another car (older model BMW?) as an emergency spare. In the Miata world I come from, many owners use a mini-spare from an RX-8 which will work on late model MX-5s. I had an OE 17" wheel in my garage in case my wife ever had a flat nearby to avoid having to use the inflator kit that came with the spareless car. Any Z4 owners here who do something similar?
