BMW Seasonal tire jack kit

Yes. It come with a standalone torque wrench and what looks like a standard 17mm 3/8" drive socket.

Cheers,

A torque wrench is not ideal for removing nuts, you might cause it to be less accurate with a lot of use. But for the few times you will use it to replace a flat tire, I cannot imagine any practical effect. I will switch to non run flats soon and will have to consider this. But I probably will not get a jack and spare because in 40 years of driving I've never really needed more than a 12V compressor to deal with a slow leak. I have the compressor. If I change my mind, I will get a harbor freight 1/2 inch torque wrench and an inexpensive jack. I will probably have my son weld a piece of rectangular steel to the top to go into the jack points. Should cost about $50. The BMW set looks really nice but I can't justify the extra $100. I already have a tool set on the bimmer so if I want to use a ratchet on the wheel nuts I have that already (an expanding 3/8 and a plain one from HF).

So I finally ordered a 125/80R17 out of Germany (Part No. 36110445045 as per Dack's pictures) and have been waiting for some six (6) weeks thanks to BMW's spare parts logistics issues.

What rotten luck as I have done a few long trips and have had to carry a full size
M Sport 18" wheel as a spare.

Has the logistics issue been resolved yet? <sigh!>

Just ordered and got my BMW jack kit, but it came with a 140nm tq wrench, which is 103ft lbs, my E60 is rated for 88ft lbs for the lug bolts.. But this kit was tied to my VIN at the dealer and on real oem.

Anyone want to share what there tq wrench is rated at?
140nm is rated for all 2013+ BMW with the bigger lugs from what i gather online.
