The jack seems to use rubber blocks to move around to fit various lift points for different cars. If I am correct, how do these work with the BMW rectangular jack points? Are adapters needed between the rubber blocks and the jack points? Or do you give up on the jack points and just mash them?

If anyone has one what is your opinion on its usefulness? I am not in the market of a full size lift but something like this seems like it might get used for tire changes, oil changes, brakes and polishing.
Have been considering getting one because a friend has one and loves it ! I got the daily email from ECS where they have it for $1296 and that was the sale price!!
Did a quick google search and found it at of all places.... Home Depot! And the best part, it's on sale for $1099. Apply for their Credit card and get $100 off!
It will be here by the end of the month
I have new rotors and pads to put on & the usual "back to stock" exhaust swap to do before state inspection next month! lol
This will definitely make things easier

Oh BTW.... when I was looking at this on the Home Depot site it said the sale ends today and was a $400 savings before the $100 credit card deal

I have it. It is great but don't forget to follow the directions when it comes to operation and maintenance. Mine broke with my car on it and was a nightmare. Caused by a faulty coupler. But the customer service was great and they sent new parts.

Gave quickjack another chance after buying one back in December and quickly finding out one of the jacks being defective and also missing a good amount of parts and ended up returning it back to Costco.

Got another set 2 weeks ago and they made some revisions since. Instructions were written much better this time and no missing parts. So far it’s a great addition.

Can someone describe the differences between the 5000XL and the 7000XL as they relate to the E92 M3?

It looks like the 5000 goes up to 16" and the 7000 goes up to 21".

The 7000 is heavier

The lowest the 5000 goes is 3"
The lowest the 7000 goes is 3.5"

Main question to people that have the 5000, do you see anything in the 7000 that make it not work for the M3.

TIA

The E9x curb weight is less than 4,000 lbs so the BL-7000 would be overkill unless you wanted the capability to life heavier vehicles.

Sounds like the first one you received was a returned unit that they didn't properly inspect before putting back in inventory.. glad you gave them another chance, quickjack is great.

Was your coupler just leaking a little? After a year of use, I have a coupler leaking a little. It started after the car had been up a few days. Am I SOL when it's time to lower the car?

I would make sure your reservoir doesn't get too low. If it is still under warranty, I would get a replacement coupler. Mine had a bad/leaky coupler when it arrived. Called them and they sent me a new one. No problems since.

Thanks, it is a slight seeping from the quick release. First problem after using regularly for a year!

if you happen to be out of warranty (can’t remember how long it is), you can buy the same couplers from various online retailers for about $20 or so.

So I had an issue with the QuickJack couplers. I think the connection was forced to hard and damaged the o-ring. I had a bit of a hard time figuring out what exactly I needed to replace them as I did not want to spend $75 USD for the official replacements - and wait for shipping - and pay duties...

Alas, I had a hell of a time but finally found these

1/4" NPT Flat Face Qucik Coupler

One thing I forgot was that the newer QuickJacks have male threads on the couplers that fit onto the power unit. So, to save others who may need replacements, I thought I would share the fact that the above couplers work great (better than the factory ones IMHO) but you will need a #6 ORB-M to 1/4" NPT-M adapter.

Thought I would share as I had almost no luck searching on the interwebs for detailed info on alternatives to the factory items.

Cheers,

My local Costco slashed the price to $700.00 in-club only. This price is not available online.

I got this contraption about a month a go and it is as good as already described here.

However, it takes me too long to line up the rubber blocks. Why did they make them so small? grrrr

Anyway, what can I replaced these with something that fits the whole tray so I don't have to be so precise with the positioning?

Someone said they are using wood, but my concerns are that the wood may split

Wood is strong in compression, you shouldn't worry that it crack as it won't disintegrate. Get oak or maple if you're worried about it, but they're more $$. If you want some sort of rubber/plastic you maybe able to find larger pieces on line (McMaster Carr or US Plastic) but a local plastic supply house may have larger scraps.

It's well built and very stable. There is a metal locking bar plus the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder on each side. Its way more stable and safer than jack stands, especially when jacking one corner at a time. You can always use additional safety stands or put ramps under the wheels if you are paranoid. Check out this video to see how overbuilt it is.




Also, they low enough for my competition package E92 to drive over so you can just leave them in the parking spot if you don't want to move or store them.
That thing is impressive.

kind of an old post to answer

But I use the 7000 on the E92 M3 and M2, works great.

Also lifts my Jeeps.
