Anyone have experience with Quick Jack?

the 5000 is at Costco for $799, saw them in San Marcos, CA - they had a few in stock.

Ooh, might have to pull the trigger at that price. Thanks!

Well worth it - I think I paid $750 for mine (a while back - used, the DC version) and its been awesome. Sold my race ramps and just use the quickjack now. They store low enough that I just push them together and drive over them so they stay on the floor in the garage. $799 brand new is a great deal.

Anyone else get the 7000 version vs the 5000?

I do. Homedepot had it on sale for 1K at labor day. haven't got a chance to set it up yet though. supposedly, the jack length will still be OK for e92. I got the fat one so I can also work on my X3

I contemplated this but honestly the 5000 one is heavy enough. I also don't wrench on the Yukon as much

Thanks for the feedback. I've been going back and forth between the two as I also have a Gen 2 Raptor to consider...

I finally got time to setup the 7000 SLX. This is how E92M look like on it using the 3" blocks came with QJ. The length is just perfect. I raised it to the first locking position and there is enough space underneath for me to craw in and do oil change.

Can you lower the jack and take pressure off the cylinders keeping the car up off the ground for winter storage taking pressure off the suspension? Say for a few months? lol Just curious...

Yep! The manual and website says you can.

Yes. When working on the car, you're supposed to lower the quick jack onto the locks anyway and not just use the hydraulic support. The locks hold the lift and car in place and you can actually pull all the fluid out of the hydraulic system and disconnect the hoses with the car still in the air.

Watch at about the 3:00 minute mark how he lowers the QJ onto the lock and disconnects the hoses.

The car is held up with mechanical lock not by hydraulics. I would say structurely it will be perfectly OK. You might need to watch out when you re-pressurize the hydraulics.

quick question for everyone.

Do you guys buy the jack pad adapter, like a round pad with a rectangle pedestal that goes into car jack pad's rectangular hole? My jack pad is almost flattened out at the bottom.(basically the jack pad is almost at the same level as car skirt)

I am thinking if I should replace the jack pad and get the adapters to lift the car properly... Or, should I just use another smaller block about jack pad size..

I have the jack pad adapters for SUVs. They will not fit under the M3 unless you somehow put it on blocks first. I usually just use the larger of the 2 sizes of rubber blocks and orient their long axis with the long axis of the car. This way, they do not press on the body work.

If your BMW jack pads are that flattened, it is likely time to get new ones. Also, you can get rubber jack pad adapters such as these. I have a set and use them when I am using jack stands. I do not use them with quickjack but they would likely work well.

Cheers,

The only issue that I have had to date is with leaking connectors. It seems my roommate likes to force things together and damages the o-rings. I need to order some more replacements...

And FYI - these adapters work with quickjack. You will need an adapter for to use the female connectors. IIRC it is an #6 ORB to 1/4" male NPT.

Fixed it for you.

He runs across the border for me to pick up stuff from Sumas when he is over in Vancouver for work. So, I will give the guy a break.

But yes, in a perfect world, my roommate would be buying me new connectors. I ordered spares this time.

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

You may want to consider this, no brainer with the time saved during set up
