Potentially going to pick up a set of 15" BBS with tyres at the weekend for the Touring.

The question is, will they fit in the boot of my 650 or do I need to take the Touring itself!?

Bodes well then. The car is still fairly new to me so the excuse for a run out in it is rather good :)

Was that with tyres? I couldn't get 4 x 14" BBS with tyres in the boot, had a pair seatbelted in on the backseat.

I think I may just have to take the Touring. Would be a pain in the a**e to get down there and not be able to fit them in, and I'm not putting wheels and tyres inside the 6!

My 318is has a rear strut-brace so only managed three in the boot and covered the fourth wheel in a blanket and put it between the front and back seats. Should be loads of room in a touring though I'd have thought...

There is no chance of fitting them in your 650i.

Even without tyres you will struggle. The E63 has a small boot.

I've had a rough measure up just now and (without tyres,) 3 would go in easily and maybe the 4th. Not sure I'd describe it as "small" in there though?
