Does any body know if its possible to get a jack to fit a bmw E61.
If so can I get the part number from you..
Just Got Quoted ?380 for a pair of Bridgstone 235/50/17 RFT from my local bmw dealer (Irvine BMW) as they were down to 3mm tread they advised I should change them Now.So decided to buy a Newish unmarked set of Genuine BMW 17" wheels with Bridgstone RFT Tyres with 7mm tread remaining off of ebay for ?227.Went and picked them up and they were absolutely mint with the chap only selling them as he had put 18" wheels on his March 2008 E61.
Now Have 7mm tread all the way round and four spare wheels but no jack.....
ANYBODY?

buy a cheapo hydraulic jack from a hardware store and get a block of wood - s small 2 ton hydaraulic jack shouldnt cost more than about 20-30 pounds and can be used on any number of cars.
Make sure it has a rotating extension arm.
They are also quicker and easier to use than a car specific car jack.
All tire fitters lift the cars from specific points on the chassis/suspension - locate the point and lift away....
