Jack Ideas?

I'm looking for a compact jack to keep in the M2C for emergency use. I'd like to be able to use a patch kit in case of a flat in the hinterlands, but that's tough to do without taking the wheel off of the car.

Any suggestions for a jack?

I'm looking for something compact that's low enough to get under the car when the tire is flat.

Thanks!

I have a 1.5 ton scissor jack from harbor freight that I take with all my cars whenever I go on trips longer than 200 miles. It was only needed once but it works great. Nice and compact too.

Also can someone point out an easy to use but quality patch kit?

I've never bought anything from harbor freight that didn't break or just never work to begin with.

But I guess it's hard to ask too much of it when it costs $3 for a torque wrench.

I carry the BMW Roadside Vehicle Jack Kit (BMW Part No 71106775536), but it looks like it's NLA. Nice little lifting jack, wheel chock, gloves, fixed 130Nm torque wrench with socket all in a BMW nylon carrying case for the trunk.
