E55 W211 Spare Tire?
Does the E55 W211 comes with a spare tire? I picked up my E55 today but there is no spare in the trunk. They told me that I've have run flat tires so there is no spare. Can anyone confirmed that? Please let me know.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!!

Are you running Conti Sports? I am sure they are not run flats but he sidewalls are robust enough to prevent you killing yourself at speed if your tire deflates.

In Oz they don't. A can of goo to reinflate. AND a standard wheel/tyre wont fit in the well.
To my knowledge no MB comes with standard run-flat tyres - thank goodness!!

I have an OE space saver spare and compressor in a early 2004 build.
It is a hot item as it will fit over the E55s front brakes and most aftermarket BBKs. I never heard of a run flat on an E55. Think that may be BS. Tell them to order the spare. If you need pics PM me

06 E55 SOLD, 89 300 SE 375,000 miles
Mine didn't come with one for some reason. My car was an 06. I went the stealer last week and looked ant the E350 and E550 on the show room floor and they didn't have them either.
I looked at the E55 05 on the lot and it did have a space saver in it. I dont understand the logic behind MB on this issue.

I believe the cars that didn't come with the OE spare need to swap the tire well for a later build unit in addition to ordering the wheel/tire/inflator.

Im running on conti tires.... suppose to be run-flat tires. That was they said to me. I didnt buy it from a MB Stealership. Its weird how there is a space for a spare in the trunk under the mat but there isnt a spare.
I have to take it in for them to look at it on Monday because my moon roof is inoperable. It opens on a short burst,....open for like 2 cm then stop. Once it stops, i have to press the botton again for it to open. Once again, it only opens on a short burst. Does anyone know why????????
BTW, the car was built on October 2003.
