Can someone help me understand what I need?
I saw Keith's "useful tools" sticky post at the top but I don't know what size socket I need for our cars. I searched the forum and think I saw 17mm but could someone confirm please?
Also, my other question is around the car jack. I saw somewhere that special inserts are needed for the bottom of car at the jack points for a jack to successfully lift the car, is that correct?
Any input on favorite tools and techniques for changing your own tires on a BMW are welcome! Thanks.

I bought the jack pad from them but they were out of stock on the socket. Been using my normal socket from my toolbox for this.
