should be some suitable flat jacking points on ether end of the pinchweld, been long enough since i had our 840 up on the lift i can't positively remember, should look like your e34 with a couple little areas for the factory jack, it's fine to floor jack there, insulate with a block of wood if you are worried
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Try using the wood you've been sporting since you bought this thing!

heh, the car isnt even lowered, saw the frame rails but the jack is too tall to get far enough in to lift it. need like a micro jack or something. The factory is ok but you know, Id like to actually work on the thing rather than just stare it it and ramps can only do soo much.
looks like the lower control arm bushings are puking from what I saw changing the wheels over.
Wonder if I can find another jack and chop it up to accomodate the floor jack. the 7 cars arent like this are they?

last time i was jacking up my 525i which is really low, i did the next thing:
i set up a little couple of bricks and a plank mini ramp and drove one of my front wheels up the ramp. that lifted the whole car up one side. and then i was able to stick the jack under it and get it under a solid area where i can lift my car
removal is reverse of installation
no no no, you guys dont follow. This things factory jack sticks into the side of the rocker and then you raise the thing. Reg E34 points are gone, not available, just plastic. Ill have my bud build some adapters and then Ill be ok. Prob pricey tho. Wish there was something simpler.

My 318is is lowered to the point that the shop jack doesn't allow me to get to the frame rails or cross member. I drive it up on (4) 2x4s maybe 18 to 24" long laying flat. That does the trick but it is a pain.
I wish you the best with that, it sure looks nice!
