w211 E55 Spare Tire

How many of you do not have a spare tire? If you don't, have you added one? If so, did you have to reconfigure the battery set-up?

Does anyone know if this was an option in 2003/2004? I "believe," but I could be wrong, spare tires came standard in '05 and later model years?.?.

Thanks!!!

I added the spare wheel to my own 2002 (W211) E220CDI and 2003 E55 (and some other cars not belonging to me)...the battery does have to be relocated (and secured)...it is all doable

Maybe I shoulda waited and purchased a 2005 for the spare. Guess I jumped the gun. LOL. But I honestly didn't know I didn't have a spare until a few months after I bought the car.

greetingz,
If you don't mind me asking, was the price fairly reasonable to relocate the battery to make room for a spare?
