Negative. I was hoping that as well, but I compared with my wife's Clubman and no dice. There's a muffler in the way in the Countryman. I think a spare may fit under the load floor in the boot, though.

That's actually what I meant, under the load floor in the boot. Do you think it's big enough for a donut spare tire?

OP: Why did you have a costly tow to dealership? MINI towing is free.
If you have AAA or certain credit cards, you could tow to your residence and not have to buy from your dealership. Tire slime, compressor and a tire plug thingy can fix a lot of punctures. Just curious that's all.

Agree. But IMO this is an ugly solution and only something I would consider if my livelihood demanded that I be on the road ASAP in case of a flat.

I was in NYC the mini dealer closest to me had no loaner cars. Had to call my dealer which had the car. It took them 2 week to get my tire.
Slime would not have worked, there was a chunck of tire missing from the side. The tire was flat.
Had AAA but they pay for first 5 miles.
it might not look good. But do not want to go thru that again.
Had to cancel my work calls to get it towed.

They have a donut listed for the Countryman on Minimania (http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/G2.../InvDetail.cfm), but it won't fit under the floor in the boot based on what they have posted. It's about 5 inches too small to fit that diameter.
Specifications:
Wheel Size: 4.0J x 17 ET 18
Tire Size: 135/80
Sidewall Height: 4.25"
Section Width: 5.31"
Overall Diameter: 25.50"
Circumference: 80.12"
Revs per mile: 790.78
Weight: Approx. 29 lbs

$165 at OutMotoring. BTW, its a 5x120 pattern for the Countryman. It does not fit under the floor, but does fit laying flat on top of it by just moving one rear seat up just one notch.
