Unfortunately, I am truly disappointed with BMW's car jack. What a stupid product with an unsafe design. I just tried to changes wheels and it sucks!!!!! Couldn't even do it. Didn't find it safe enough.

yeah. standard jacks are really for emergencies only... if you were on the side of the highway in the rain when it is 40 degrees, you would be jacking that thing up.

I used the std jack to change my wheels from summer to winter. No problems, it's simple and it does the job IMHO.

the jack works great, you have to make sure the all WHEELS are locked in place so the car has no movement (Use to handbrake even if your car is an AUTO
