    2021 MYLR, 49,500 miles. Someone over in the M3 area posted the same thing. When shutting down, steering wheel goes up and in. When retracting, it growls/chatters, as if the vinyl boot area needs lubrication. I'm hesitant to blindly spray silicone or vinyl treatment in the surrounding area...

    For the first time, I mounted the ModernSpare on my 2021 MYLR to check it's fitment prior to a lengthy road trip. I was shocked to see that the ModernSpare hub opening is considerably larger (3"?) than the MY hub (2 1/2"?) Maybe this is old-school thinking, but it has been my understanding...
