I have the pad, it's just that I need assurance that when I jack the car up, I'm not putting a hole in the car.
I jack mine up with the tires on the drive-on lift
But when I do brake work on the lift, I use an under-hoist jack on the front frame rails or rear cross member and place jack stands at the factory jacking points. I haven't had any problems doing this with the several cars I own.
The do make special lift pads and jack pads for lifting uni-body cars at the pinch-welds... They are a block with a slot cut in it that the pinch-weld fits into. This keeps the pinch weld from folding over.

don, unless there is some big difference between the pickup on the e34 m50 oiling system and the e36 m50 oiling system (i know that the pans themselves are much different), run down to the dealership NOW and pick up the gasket that connects the pickup to the oil pump. you won't be able to get the pan off the car if it is the same as the e34 without disconnecting that tube. i've forgotten to buy one TWICE already.
