2021 530i location for front floor jack
Hello, I am looking to change my oil on my 2021 530i. Is the raised center portion of the subframe the correct location for a floor jack? See attached photo…

Thanks, confirmed it worked no problem.
I got a little freaked out as the first time I jacked the car up at that spot there was a sudden loud creaking noise... must have been the jack! |

This is for the M550 which should be the same for yours. Source: ISTA

Thanks zvery777 I actually found the page from the 530i service manual, in case anyone else visits this thread I'll save you the trouble:

Invest in some jack stands as well. I always use them when using a jack, and make sure to slide the wheel under the car for additional safety. Having ramps is very useful for oil changes and front of the car inspection.
