17mm bolts?
Hi all
the M2 is my first ever BMW, so pardon my questions. I took delivery just a couple weeks ago and the dealer had mounted the winter tire package I had ordered from TireRack. I'm used to doing this myself on my other cars and so I have not yet had to deal with the tools I will need to switch to the summer tires in a couple months. 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. |
