Smart to get a spare if it would be subject to cold weather snowy conditions at times. Winter increases the likelihood of a flat with all the broken roads due to plows, and makes being stranded that much more of a risk. As an added bonus, the extra weight from the spare will help with traction in snow/ice.

If its summer and you dont feel the need, remove the spare for better driving, handling. When it turns over to winter, put the spare in for extra peace-of-mind. I used to do the same for my RWD 3 series. Currently have AWD and no spare.
