Jack for an E46 M3

[Andrew Coates]

This might seem like a daft question, but does the E46 M3 have a jack supplied with the car or do BMW assume that because you dont have to change a wheel when there is a puncture, you dont need one.

The one I have just bought (pick it up at the weekend!!)didn't appear to have one in the boot.

If it hasn't, I presume a normal E46 jack will fit if I bought one to use for general maintenance purposes

Anybody got an answer?

I think you're right in that they don't come with one (just checked the manual). I'd imagine that the standard e46 jack would work, but I wouldn't bother with one unless you really want to keep it in the car at all times.

It is a tiny scissor jack (I had one in my 330d) and definitely wouldn't use unless I really, really need to change the tyre quickly (of which the M3 doesn't have a spare anyway).

I'd go for a small trolley jack instead if you're going to keep it in the garage.

Hi,

M3's dont have a jack (not a tyre lever) as they dont get a spare as standard. Where the spare usually is, you'll find a tyre sealant in its place.

Confused me too!

No jack or wrench. The "wheel well" is taken up with the compressor.

Thanks for that guys, I'll use the trolley jack then!

Standard bmw jack will do the job when i bought my m3 i didnt fancy not having a spare so i bought a e46 spacesaver as i dont need the boot space
