And I suppose I could jack one side up, take the wheel off, put the space saver on, drop it, lift the other side and swap the two wheels, then back round again...

Incidentally, if anybody's reading this or anything else, and is tempted to hold their car on a trolley jack "just for a minute", I had my M3 up on one years ago, when there was a loud bang, I got an eyeful of hydraulic fluid, and the jack just collapsed - guess a seal blew.

Fortunately, I'm not (completely) stupid, and the Beemer was also supported by a large section of 18" thick tree trunk, so it only dropped a little.
