I'm looking for a jack that will get low enough to fit under my 2003 z4 where the jack blocks are located. What are other owners using?
 
Welcome to the forum.I would buy one of these if I hadn't already got a trolley jack.I don't know if they are available in the states,but something like this would be ideal.

I picked up the sgs one as they are based in derby.

Brilliant bit of kit for the price. Only criticism is it has no carry handle, so have to wheel it... But still well worth it.

+1 for the SGS, it's well made and low, I also like the swinging handle which is ideal for tight spaces and a good feature if you can find it on something similar :thumbsup:

I have this jack and found the rate of rise to be very small for the number of pumps on the handle. Could this be a set up issue?

I'm used to using a faster halfords professional 4X4 high lift jack, although this requires driving the car onto wood before lifting :(

Arcan Jack like the one in the link. I purchased in Costco so should be available in the United States. It was just less than £100 and is professional quality. Thick alloy so strong and light. Bit pricey but it lifts all I own with ease!

I find this halfords jack to be very good, I have owned and used many times over the last 3 years, much quicker than the SGS jack to lift the car
