I've been on the fence about getting one for a while. Which one did you get?

It seems like the 3500 would do just fine... It says its for shorter wheelbase cars.

3500 is just fine - most of the Costco/etc deals are on the 5000 model. Can confirm both work

The BL-3500 model would probably be fine for just a Z, but then you're limited in the future if you get a larger car. For the price difference you're better off getting the BL-5000. Make sure that you get the newer QuickJack Wall Hangers Set that lets you hang the ramps on the wall. I used a couple pieces of cord and made a sling so that I can also hang one hose on each hanger.

I also purchased a Quickjack BL-5000 from costco for $999. I've used is many times and have been impress with how quick it is to set up and put away. I agree the BL-3500 would work fine for the Z4, but it limits you for use on heavier vehicles. I've used it on my Z4MC, 525i, X3, 4runner, Corrado and S10 pickup. Note: the 525i lift points are too far apart by a few inches for the BL-5000SLX and the quickjack fame extension accessory is $265 shipped, so I made extensions from some 2x8s that work perfectly.
I didn't know about the wall hangers, they must be new, cause I didn't see them on their site when I bought mine over 1 year ago. I might look into getting a set. |

Only a couple of nits, they should have been gloss black to match the ramps and the hooks could have been a little wider so that you could also hang the hoses from the hooks. As I mentioned, I made a sling out of some cord and I hang the sling from the hooks. Some day, if I have absolutely nothing else to do, I may take them down and spray paint them.

I'm old and feeble, I probably couldn't lift the hydraulic pump up that high! It's bad enough moving the ramps around.

Plan on buying some relatively soon. Seems like a reasonably priced, useful tool. With the weight ratings I will go with the 5000, just to make it useful for more cars.

I here ya, I'm old too, but over 6' tall and currently keep the pump on a shelf about head high, so it'd work ok for me. Come on, the jacks have wheels

Used them on something a little heavier. Job was entire drivetrain fluids and F&R brakes. Here's some pics showing the versatility (note the tool creeper, it's really useful to keep your tools with you).

Today only, home depot has quickjack accessories on sale. Picked up the hangers for $27 shipped. Was looking at the suv/truck height adapters for my pickup, but even @ $200 shipped I'm not sure, I've been using sections of 4x4s.

Wow, price increase, they used to go for $999 without the extras. Don't think the extras are worth $200 more considering I just got the hangers for $27 shipped you don't need the pinch weld blocks for the BMWs

Agree on the price increase but I think still by far the cheapest place to get it. Quick Jack sells this model direct for $1416 without the extras.
