For those of you looking for a new jack, I recently picked this up on sale:

I was waiting for this thing to go on sale for a while, and I don't believe I've seen it cheaper. It's heavy and hard to move around, but it's great if you're simply looking to perform DIYs in your garage. Best part is, it has no issue reaching the center jacking point on my stock E90 M3
. I was able to get the car on jack stands within minutes.
