What did you do to / for your E53 today??


Empty gas tank 3.0i 2001


Full tank and me.

I would not have any concerns. Lifting devices have safety margins built in. The main problem is with the hydraulic piston being at the limits of capability.

I've used a 1.5T jack to lift the back of my car when it typically weights 3200 and I've hit pressure limits and vented oil. They are pretty soft fail, just leaked a little oil and and lost lift height until I topped off the oil.


"Fully loaded".
