I don't know about the x3/x5 but the last used x1 I looked at had no spare tire but just the run flat tires.For your daughter that may be a good thing. Older Benz and BMW are off warranty and would be more expensive to fix. Honda CRV and Toyota rav4 would be my choice. Our daughter took over our 2005 Nissan xtrail and had no problems. The equivalent to that now is the Nissan small suv(I forget the latest model introduced in about 2007). Murano and there is the smaller one...
I find the CRV and Rav4 have a pretty choppy ride and adequate power. Reliability is key and also get an suv with side airbags for additional protection if you can.
