        That looks like a pain in the back. It would suck to only be able to sit under the car; I'd prefer laying down over that.

          Well think of it this way. You can just lift it up half way and lay on your back.

                My lift only goes that high as well.
                Just after you do all your suspension work you get a lift. haha

                Your car looks great.
                What next turbo? 24v swap?

                  It's really not as bad as it looks, I don't have that much more clearance, but I am crouching down and leaning on my knees in that picture. But the ticket is definitely lifting it up a little higher than on stands and being able to work freely without being cramped...it's great.

                  They are Bosch Euro's...the picture does makes them look a little off for some reason.

                  Yeah it kinda sucks, but at least now I don't have to mess around with jacks and jack stands. Lowering my car off the stands after my suspension install was a feat in itself.

                  And thank you, long term goal is s52 swap now that (most) short term goals are completed.

                  '91 318is - OBD-II S52 swapped - E30 M3 5-lug - 5x120 BBS RC090 (E39 Style 5) - TCK D/A coilovers 550/700 [SOLD]
                  '87 535i - Vacuum brake conversion [SOLD]
                  '93 525iT - 5-speed swap - 320k and counting
                  '09 328xi - 6-speed

                    IDK, I must be spoiled from using a normal lift all the time.


                    I'm glad you love it though, it should be great for brake work.

                        after working with a lift for EVERYTHING at work-- I put cars on the lift to pull door panels off-- no lie! I can see where your coming from with that lift. I plan next year mounting a normal lift in my driveway to get rid of the low ceiling problem.

                        cool though.

                          It will be the best "tool" purchase you make. I got mine last year and it is great!!

                            Grats mang!

                            I've been scoping out some full sized used lifts on Craigslist etc. Going to be signing a lease on a small 1000sf shop next or the following week.

                            Enjoy!

                              this is the great part about being a tech at a mom and pop shop, after 3 weeks i had a key and 24 hour access.
