I have a 520d 2008 E60 with runflat tyres.
I try to find a lifting jack for my car!
Is a lifting jack for E39 compatible with the E60 series?

Thank's for your help.

Didn't you get one with the car? Check under the spare tire in the trunk. If not, you could always buy one from your dealer.

bdkinnh,
Here in Europe, we generally don't get jacks/spare wheels etc - they have to be purchased extra.

zoulou,
Can't help you with the E39 compatibility, but I use a jack from a Vauxhall (Opel) Carlton (or Vectra/Omega) - cut down the plastic head to suit the E60 sill socket.

Mike

You'll find the lifting areas by looking underneath your car from the side.

At least on my pre-LCI's the places where marked in the skirt with a arrowhead.

Front lifting place is rear of the wheel on each side

Rear lifting place is front of the wheel on each side

I would go to the nearest garage and loan a hydraulic jack.

I have been looking for a jack too, my thoughts are an e39 will fit - this is what I'm doing , however I have no confirmation.

I was also looking at some of the later e46 jack as they look similar.
