Not to make you worry but I have runflats and NO spare on my Cooper. At the Canadian MINI website, building a MINI and selecting a spare DESELECTS the sport package. I hope your dealer knows what he is talking about and that you get what you want.

That said, I'm looking forward to some runflat winter tires. For all that they will cost more, the thought of changing a tire in January with my fingers frozen trying to undo the bolts is not nice and I don't know how well a space-saver spare will do along with a snow tire on the other side of the same axle -- can't be fun to drive that way in snow.
