That’s because Sport models have run-flat tyres – which means the 1 Series does without a spare wheel. Unfortunately, these tyres have extremely stiff sidewalls, which means every lump of the UK’s bumpy roads can be felt in the cabin. One common problem with a space-saver spare wheel is that if you ever need to use it, the original full-size wheel and flat tyre won’t fit in the spare wheel well, so you have to carry it in the boot – which, of course, is no good if you already have a bootful of luggage or a very small boot.
