Will a e46 jack works on e92?

mansito · 01-25-2015, 12:43 PM

There is a e46 jack + lug nut wrench for sale locally for $45. I am trying to determine if they will work on my 2013 e92. Attached are picks of the jack + wrench.

looks good to me, that white block will fit in our jack pads.

it's not the safest jack in the world though, I think it kind of balances on one leg, so make sure you are on a sturdy flat surface and using chocks and the parking brake.

here's one deployed...

I have the same one and it works fine. Only to be used for emergencies though. I have mine in the car along with my space saver spare from an e60 in case of flat tire.

+1. Luckily, I only had to use my E46 jack once in 10 years of ownership and it was a scary experience. I'll stick with a compressor, plug kit and AAA for my E91.

On the inside the jack pads are 58 x 30 millimeters which is 2.28 x 1.18 inch.
Better ask the seller about the size of the white adapter.

Thanks all. Agree with your comments that this is not the safest jack. Only plan to use it in case I get a flat on the road. I have an air-compressor and a fix-a-flat kit. Tha jack will complete my emergency road kit.

I would highly suggest some plugs to that kit. Plugs will fix holes that are too large for the fix a flat. In fact I would skip the fix a flat and get the green slime. Make sure to get a plug fixed properly with a patch from the inside as soon as you can get to a tire shop though.

Agree. I also have plugs in the trunk.

I use an E60 jack to raise my car and it seems sturdy to me. Considering both cars are similar in weight, I don't see why it wouldn't be considered appropriate or unsafe for emergencies. This is the least expensive one I found on eBay:

I am going to meet the seller on Thursday afternoon and try the jack on the car. If everything works I'll buy it.

KwlAznKid · 01-27-2015, 05:27 AM

will work, the jack doesn't fit under the jackpad 100% snug but it's 99.9%, i keep my e46 jack in my e92 trunk as well for emergencies

jt335i · 01-27-2015, 07:38 AM

Yes it will work. I got one used, as well as a compact spare, through LKQ.

Yup. BMW hasn't changed their jack pad style in many years. Be sure to lubricate the jack threads - you'd be surprised how hot it will get!
