    So how would you recommend jacking up the front? From the crossmember at once and then placing the jackstands underneath the frame rails, or jack up each side seperately at the frame rails and placing the jack stands slightly behind the jacking point underneath the frame rails.

    Does anyone have a picture of the bottom of an E34? That way we can make our own jack points image.

    Default From the crossmember at once with a

    2x8 to displace the load. If the front bumper is too low, drive the car up on boards to gain clearance.

    jacking the car up side to side over time twists the car too much for my tastes
