Bdc101 is on a distinguished road
I can't at the moment, my X5 is camping with my family (it's the tow car for our trailer) and I am stuck working this week.



I actually have the lightest of all the E53s (only around 4400lbs iirc) being a base model 3.0 with coil springs and manual trans. So I felt like the 5,000lb load limit would be fine. It would be unlikely that I would need to put 500+ lbs of cargo in the car while it is on the lift. Curb weight includes a full tank of gas after all (which is 150lbs in the X5) so really there is plenty of breathing room. I am hoping I don't need to buy the extension beams for the X5 is all, but it will probably be fine.



It lifts my Mazda sedan up so high that there is 8 inches of room under the wheel when it's in the air. I live in an area where I need snow tires in the winter, so this will make changing tires much easier, as well as working under the car. Also, the wife doesn't know it yet but this will be great for using on a project car in the future. I really pulled the wool over her eyes on that one!
