Jacks - buy quality buy once
For a $$$ track jack:
http://www.brunnhoelzl.com/low_profile_jacks.html
For a regular $ track jack:
http://www.otctools.com/products/2_t...um_racing_jack
For home use - AC hydraulic jack is ideal
Can be difficult to source but I found the Canadian importer to be a reliable source
Jack: http://www.ac-hydraulic.dk/en/produc...jacks/dk13hlq/
Canadian importer:
http://www.flemaproducts.com
Jack stands - guys love the jack point jack stands - they do not work with AC hydraulic jack in my experience - excellent product with the correct jack
A flat top "traditional" jack stand is nice and esco brand is widely used and available

Track jack + jack point jack stands + left in trailer = awesome
AC hydraulic jack + esco flat top jack stands + left in garage = awesome

I did not make any T2 events this year for scheduling reasons and I hear they are very popular (crowded)
And there is an event tomorrow that is limited to 30 participants and open track (my kind of event) that I cannot make either...
My season is done for the year.
:-)
It's not too late!

I make due with a cheap harbor freight jack. When it breaks I'll replace it with an OTC or something better.

Agreed that there are some jack better then others in terms of build quality thus how long they last.... Have never seen an AC in person. Certainly a lot of hype around them need to research more about them.... Now I am interested, what's the other brand? I just want a good jack that has a low profile, far reach and lifts nice and high!
I agree that the method described is the best method, but at the end of the day without a central jacking point up front you cant get the front higher than the initial side jack lift.... Does not matter if its a Ford, Porsche, or McLaren... If you are working under the car its nice to have more space!

wonderful and very light.
but AC is still better. got both, i take AC whenever i can.
yes, you will have to lift 2x without central jack pad.

had a 1995 M3 thought it was a great car.... went to get a 2004 M3 and the dealer wanted MSRP plus $7000. told him I would pay MSRP. They did not budge. Next day came back in my 2004 c2 11 months later the 996GT3. Boy am I glad Bellevue BMW were such dicks as I might still not know what I was missing. For one thing real brakes.
the american mkt e36m3 is ok., nothing to write home about. reliable yes, pedestrian, yes.... certainly no one will be restoring one in 2020.
after that...... well.... i much rather drive my dually. and i dont mean that as facetious. i do prefer GMC duramax over M3.
no offense, but i will always take GT3 over M3. kids... well they ride with mommy. daddy has to have gt3, so mommy provides rear seats.

^ my language skills are blk and white. so you are right, they are not garbage, just not as good to ME for MY use. decent DD but i was a little fed up with them when i ran them hard. i have NEVER EVER had a car disable on me on street except my M3's. two of them overheated. those who know me, i have no patience.
also E36, E46 and E90 on track, no mod, they overheated in CA weather.
maybe it's just ME who has no luck with them. BMW probably thinks i am garbage.
