G30 540I Front Center Jack Point
I have been doing some research (googling, looking at manuals, talking to mechanics, etc) into this and has not gotten a clear answer from any source. Does anyone know where the jack point is (1 or 2 in the picture)? Thanks.

Coming from this post:
https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...5&d=1489786505 I would say 2, but I'm uncertain. Edit: you want to use a cross member of the subframe. Aligning both pictures/resources, nr 2 seems most flush with that crossmember. |

It's 2. The subframe sits right above that spot once you remove the stiffening plate.

Thank u!! Been struggling to find the propper spot for this. Now i have my stand at a decent height. Was lifting the two back wheel jack spot to put my stands in the front section. Didnt feel secure or safe that way.

I'd recommend to NOT jack your BMW from the point 1 and 2 shown in the pic above. My mechanic told me that right above it there's rack and pinion which can get damaged.
I jacked my car using those points about 3 times and now there's a squeaky noise whenever I turn my steering wheel far left and far right. |
