The end of spare tires?

Some friends bought a BMW 3-series with run-flat tires, no spare. These tires were awful AND developed flats that required expensive (hundreds of dollars each, including mounting and resetting the TPM system) replacements - last time they had a flat, I made them get a set of real tires and a plug-in air pump. With the run-flat option, BMW eliminates the round area under the trunk floor and replaces it with a rectangular metal insert that will absolutely not fit a spare tire. My brother has an older 3-series and it has a real spare under the trunk. Great progress!
