My son recently bought a new car. I went over to check it out, and I couldn’t find a spare tire. Is that normal? Are BMW 5 Series supposed to have spare tires?

Surprisingly, it is normal. Newer BMW 5 Series do not have spare tires.
Instead of spare tires, BMW equips its cars with run-flat tires. While run-flat tires can’t run indefinitely after a puncture, they’ll last long enough for you to safely drive home or to an auto repair shop. You’ll then need to replace the tire.
Over one-third of new cars now come
without spare tires. Ditching spare tires saves automakers money and allows them to claim slightly lighter weights and better fuel-efficiency ratings. Unfortunately, many drivers don’t realize they’re missing a spare tire until they have a flat.
A spare tire can save you a lot of frustration on the open road. So can a solid BMW car insurance policy!

I had an accident at my apartment where I sliced my arm pretty badly.
I’m okay now, but some of my belongings are damaged and there is some blood in the apartment. Does my renters insurance cover biohazard cleanup?

I’m shopping for a new car and I think I found the perfect one, only it’s way out of my league financially. If I can get a longer loan, like seven years, I could get this car no problem. Can you get a seven-year car loan?
