Description

BMW E36 Saloon Coupé Spare Wheel Well Delete

With this spare wheel cover you close off the spare wheel well in the boot of a BMW E36 saloon or coupé with a light aluminium panel. If the spare wheel comes out to save weight, a deep hollow is left behind. This cover turns it back into a flat, tidy floor.

The set is intended for anyone who wants to make the car lighter for drift, track or sprint, but still wants a finished boot. As a bonus, the panel keeps out smoke and dust that would otherwise get into the interior through the open well.

Installation and delivery

The manufacturer leaves it up to you how you fix the spare wheel cover. According to the manufacturer, pop rivets or self-tapping screws work best. Start with the centre section, then lay the two side sections in place and check where the panels overlap or meet the body. Pre-drill the holes, deburr them and prime them before you start riveting.

If there is wiring or a fuel line running along the well, take it into account when drilling. A thin strip of sealing tape along the edge prevents rattles and keeps dust out better.

Also take a look at our other panels in the lightweight sheet metal for the interior category, or finish the boot completely with a panel from the boot firewalls category.

Why choose this saloon and coupé spare wheel cover?

The spare wheel of an E36 easily weighs more than the entire cover. If you take it out and fit this spare wheel cover, you save weight without the boot looking unfinished. The aluminium is thin and light, the black coating looks neat and the three-piece design makes it easier to fit in the well than one large panel.

This is also a practical solution for a car that is still driven on the road now and then. You have a flat floor for bags or tools, and if you later want to carry a spare wheel again, you drill out the rivets and the well is free again.
