Anyone using quickjack lift on e70?

I just turn my 7000TLX sideways since I don't think the extenders even add any more length...apparently the extenders are max 66 inches and that's identical to the stock 7000TLX. Oh well...

Would the 6000 model work for the E70?

The tire spread needs to be ≥ 86.5"

I have a 5000 TLX which works with my e53. Its curb weight is 4,927. I put the ramps on these small wheels, and store them under the vehicle, even easier than putting them on the wall

The 5000 model works just fine for the E70. The curb weight couple hundred pounds more which is WAY less than the safety margin they build in to the QuickJack. When I spoke to customer service at QJ about it, they couldn't say officially that it'd be ok, but they still said it'd be ok.

Be advised, even the 7000 TLX is too short to accomodate the lift points on the e70 x5. You have to turn the set perpendicular to the car to lift it. And this prevents any access to the exhaust system removal.

I have the extension frames add-on for my standard BL-5000 and I can lift the E70 the normal way. It will not 100% cover the lifting pads on the X5, but I can make it cover 75% on the front and over 50% on the back pads. It's not ideal but it is sturdy enough for most work. If I had to crawl under the car I would put jack stands in places for emergency stop.
