Trolley jack for the Z4

Have a look through this post; https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39928 pay special attention to the post from [ref]Bing[/ref], very useful link indeed.
 
I have an SDS low profile one and it's perfect for the odd home jobby. Think i paid £30ish for it

Same here, but I have only jacked from the side points so far so cannot comment on whether it would reach the centre rear point.
 
Hi,

I've used this jack on my e85 3.0l. gave me plenty of height, only used it on the front and rear jacking points though.

Hope that helps.

Cheers mark
 
Only tip I'd give is that I use a standard trolley jack with a rubber insert from X8R to protect the jacking point- if going in from the side- have a look it gave me a bit of peace of mind: I dont trust jacking points having had older cars with rust issues!

im using this one
 
I use a Clarke aluminium racing jack.
Only weighs about 10kg so its easy to drag out the shed.
It does reach the rear jacking point. Only just though, you can't get full swing on the handle.
 
Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I have gone ahead and bought the Halfords one as it is only £50 and unless I went £120+ I would have to put the rear wheels on bricks/wood anyway to access the rear centre jacking point.
