Car Jack Recommendations
2018 M2 any recommendations for car jack or where to buy? Amazon seems to have limited options and not a lot of "low profile".
Thank You |

Yea exactly, i have the older model of this one and I'm really happy with it
M2 m2 is lowered a little bit more than an inch and i have a lot of clearance to put the jack under the car |

AC Hydraulic Jacks (No Compromise - Made in Denmark)
https://www.ac-hydraulic.dk/us/produ...draulic-jacks/ You can buy them from Pelican Parts or even Amazon. Mine is 25 years ago, bought when I bought my first BMW. |

I love my QuickJack but I also track my car and do some maintenance on my family's cars. With tracking, I am usually swapping wheels and brakes every 2-3 weeks during the summer months so being able to swap brake pads and wheels in around 60-80 minutes is really nice.
I also have one of the earlier Canadian Tire 3-ton low profile jacks, it works well but is rather heavy. The linked one has a 4" min height, I don't recall what the minimum height is but I'd check first. If I was buying a new jack I would look for a low-profile jack and ideally with a long reach to be able to lift from the center jacking point without needing to resort to additional ramps or multiple step processes. When I work on my brother's Impreza I need to use frame extensions on my QuickJack which then add too much height so I do have to use wood blocks, that's a hassle I'd rather avoid. |

I have this one and absolutely love it. Less effort to raise the car, and it goes higher than the other Canadian Tire one in this thread (which I also have but no longer use). You can't go wrong at its current sale price.

Arcan low profile gets my vote as well. I have been using one for over 5 years without issue.
This one is on sale at Costco right now for $140. https://www.costco.ca/arcan-3-ton-pr...100317470.html |

I jack my M2 all the time - I have a $50 jack I bought at Harbor Frieght Tool 1.5 tons. Works great and although it is not a racing jack they will likely bury me with it in my coffin!
