Let's just say it wouldn't be an American 130.... Bring a suitcase filled with powered sugar with you

Kidding...

Not kidding....
If we're playing that game... I'm first in line. Much easier to get it on a C-5, though I think we have 130's here too. The c5's fly over the house everyday as we are only a mile or so from being on post.

Also curious if this works for smaller cars OB? I will buy another e30 in the future and wouldbe nice to use with that also.

Good plan to go to higher weight rated lift. With normal garage ceiling height Your choice seems to be the best value for someone just working on their own vehicles. Looked at various lift options many times. Very interested to hear your comments after using it a few times. Thanks for info.

These are on Home Depot deal of the day 2-3x a year. Usually at a 15-20 percent discount. I’ve only heard good things

I googled it and found the following info:

Extended-length car lift design
The BL-7000EXT portable car lift has been redesigned to accommodate heavy, high-clearance vehicles with long wheelbases. We’ve increased the overall frame length and lift point spread by 6”. This means the minimum lift point spread is now 6” longer, so smaller vehicles may not fit with the BL-7000EXT.

SLX minimum lift point spread: 29.5"
EXT minimum lift point spread: 35.5"

SLX maximum lift point spread: 60"
EXT maximum lift point spread: 66"

SLX overall frame length: 69"
EXT overall frame length: 76.5" (7000EXT model only)

Just measure 2 lengths on the E30 CW.

1. Distance between the back of front wheel to the front of the rear wheel.
2. Distance between the lift points.

haigha has posted accurate numbers for the measurements.

I am able to use it on my E46 no problems and was one of my considerations when purchasing.

This is the perfect information as I was looking at purchasing this earlier in the year, but never did any measurements for my E53 and E46...

Crowz will become famous soon enough
Hmm

Fits my x5 fleet.... Check!

Fits my e46.... Check !

So it will fit my f150 and my corvette too then... Cool !

I actually wasn't going to buy one but my stepfather is on a mad hunt for one and has been tempted by some questionable sites with impossibly cheap prices (read scams).

So protect him and it could be handy for me too I guess I will be ordering one of these.
