Manual only shows #2 Jack points for the self-service jack, not the 1 or 3 points and especially not the critical point for #3.

Dont forget the jack pads - like the clown who went to jack up my car 'somewhere' along the sill.
He, nor anyone in the garage, had ever hear of the correct jacking procedure. The was a one series up off it's wheels, on two hydraulic floor jacks. The owner was also surprised, but rather displeased when I pointed to the damge it had caused. One jack was actually under the correct point, but had completely crushed the part where the pad was supposed to fit. Thankfully, I had one in the boot, and have never been back to the place. |

Thanks folks. This old fart did try to google it but did not find this so again thanks. As for the pads? I guess I need to check those out also as BMW is new to me and I do not have any for my speed jack. I guess my old Mustang and 1968 F100 did not need them

All BMWs I’ve ever seen have 4 rubber jack pads…two on each side…and even if the front & rear (center) jacking points aren’t mentioned in the owners manual…the 4 (side) jack pad locations are…even on the latest BMWs that don’t come with a jack/tire iron/wheel chock because BMW mounted them with runflat tires.

Well thanks again. The car has it's jack pads but the floor jack a metal claw cup. Went on line and found some made for BMW pads and jack inserts also some jack stand mounts for BMW.
Thanks again for saving me from a big mad at me moment! Last edited by oldtexasdog; 08-19-2023 at 07:50 PM.. |
