Center jacking point?

I was looking for a center jacking point in the owners manual like my 1 series had but did not see one mentioned. I crawled up under it and did not locate one. Anybody done it? Seems I can only remove one wheel at a time, I wanted to flip them from one side to another

I just jacked my car this weekend for some performance mod.

I basically looked at http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1133432 ... but mine wasn't visible like his was.

The center jack is deep towards the end of the engine and it is covered. You need to remove the 3 million bolts to expose the center jack point

I drove up on ramps, removed the under cover, and placed the jack there.

You could also jack it up from the side from the recatnle plastic peice


but i would highly recommend purchasing the rectangle jack adapter > http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-fo...186676&vxp=mtr

As for the rear i jacked it up from the frame, or maybe it was the cross-member? Anyway it's right before the diff.

It's hard to explain but once you take it off you can find it easily. It is towards the back of the under panel in the middle. There are 3 holes in a line, and its under the middle one.

I just got jack adapters on ebay, I think they were like 4 for 20 bucks or something. They work great and I've used them many, many times.

up underneath there is a hole in the cover that enters a hole in the cross pillar. it is a center jacking point on a tubular engine cross member that they use a jack with a centering peg to center. I lifted there
