Brand of tire jack

drewmisha · 08-20-2014, 03:41 PM

Which tire jack do you use when changing wheels/tires in the m5? I used the spare wheel jack from the x5 and it took a lot of elbow grease. It made me wonder whether the x5 one is appropriate for the m5. Thanks in advance.

I use a Griot's Garage low profile floor jack, but it doesn't look like they sell those anymore.

I'd check Harbor Freight...

If you need it for casual DIY use, Harbor Freight ones will do just fine.
I'm using 1.5 ton (since 2010) and 2 ton jack (2013), no issue what so ever.

I use the Michelin 2 ton low profile jack with the adapter from BMS. Very nice.

Thanks! Where's the best place to get a jack adapter?
