How do you change a BMW tire?

I got a flat in my driveway yesterday. I have work tomorrow, so I need to put on my spare, but I don’t know how. How do you change a flat tire on a BMW?

That sounds really stressful! Luckily, it’s not too difficult to change a
BMW
tire. Here’s how to do it:
  1. Loosen the lug nuts on your tire by attaching your socket wrench and turning it clockwise.
  2. Use a jack to
    lift your car
    until your tire is about six inches off of the ground.
  3. Remove the lug nuts completely and set them in a safe place.
  4. Grab the tire from the base and pull it straight toward you until it comes off of your vehicle.
  5. Next, line up the lug nut posts on your car with the corresponding holes on the spare tire and push the spare onto your car.
  6. Screw on the lug nuts to secure the spare tire in place, but avoid tightening them all the way.
  7. Lower your car and remove the jack.
  8. Once your car is back on the ground, tighten the lug nuts as much as you can.
And just like that, you’ve changed the tire on your BMW!
