Jack Pad Adapter BMW E36 Drift, Race, Rally, Tuning

This jack pad adapter BMW E36 lets you safely jack up a lowered E36 via the original jacking hole in the sill. You insert the adapter in the hole and place your hydraulic trolley jack underneath, even when the car sits so low that the jack would not normally fit under it.

With an E36 on coilovers or with a serious drop, jacking it up is often a puzzle with planks and ramps. With this adapter you have a fixed jacking point in the place BMW itself intended for it, whether you are adjusting the suspension, changing wheels or having rims refurbished.

Use and delivery

The adapter is not permanently fitted. You only insert it in the jacking hole in the sill while jacking. Place the saddle of your trolley jack under the adapter and raise the car steadily. When you are done, you take the adapter out again.

Never work under a car that is only supported by a jack. After jacking up the E36, put it on axle stands at solid points of the body or the chassis. Before use, also quickly check whether the edge around the jacking hole is still sound and free of rust: a rotten jacking point holds nothing any more, with or without an adapter.

Store the jack pad adapter BMW E36 in a dry place and check now and then that the pin is straight and the welds are still in order. After a season with lots of pit stops and tyre changes, a quick visual check is enough. A small effort for a tool your car rests on.

You can find more jacking points and protection in our bash bars and jack points category. There you will also find bash bars with jack points for the E36, if you want to jack up the whole rear in one go.

Drive low and still jack up easily: the jacking hole that is already in your sill does the work.

Why choose this jack pad adapter BMW E36?

A lowered E36 looks great until you have to change a wheel. This adapter solves that in a simple way: no extra parts on the car, no planks under the wheels, just use the original jacking point. It is CNC-milled and welded, and it easily comes along in your boot or toolbox to the track.
