In my vert I carry a scissor jack, lug wrench, compact compressor and plug kit. I do not have a spare or really the room to have one.
For longer trips though, I guess I would like to have a donut that I could probably store on the floor in front of one side of the rear seat, when it is just my Wife and me on the trip.
Now I wonder what I can get for a donut spare, especially because I have the 19 inch wheels with the 225/40 R19 tires. Seems it may be hard to run a donut with 3 of those large tires?
No. You just need a wheel that clears the brakes. Go up in aspect ratio to bring the diameter to the same as your wheels. Your wheel and tire combination is probably no bigger diameter than the standard wheel and tire.
Probably an 18” narrow steel wheel with a skinny 70 series tire. You can find them online if you shop around for BMW donut spare for your car. You may also find another application from another bmw that had a spare that fits for a cheaper used spare. I carry a mini spare in my E90 M3 most of the time. This is an older post that may give you ideas:

There are no 70 series tires and that does not make them narrow. The 70 Series is the height. The first number on the tire is the width. We carrty the donut tieres but do not carry the wheels. You can go to a smaller wheel instead of the 19" and it will help reduce cost. If I can help let me know.
