...when I bought my previous X1, 6 years ago now, the purchase just anticipated the mass migration from petrol to diesel cars.
I asked the dealer to find me a "compound" car matching my requirements, and expected a very restricted choice, given I was after the relatively rare petrol, and not the (very) predominant diesel.
As it happens, though there was a restricted choice of petrol models available, the main constraint was finding one with my required spare wheel, one of the few available was, luckily, a good match.
It wasn't, at least at that time, an easy dealer aftermarket option, as the underfloor in the boot was slightly different from the factory to provide a wheel-well.
(didn't want runflats either, the road noise on standard tyres on the X1 was intrusive enough - and commented on in most road tests).
