Jacking and supporting 2 series

Hapbob · 07-31-2023, 06:50 AM

I may be missing something here.
If I floor jack my car at the jack point adapters under car?
Where do I put the jack stand While its up on floor jack?

How do you guys do that alternate location for jack or Jack stands?
Damage to car possibilities?
Also stripped lug bolt...I have never had lugs this tight on a car in my long life. Air gun wouldn't budge and breaker bar was a real chore. Super tight ? Would a BMW center tighten lugs this tight?
Have a stripped lug extractor coming today I hope works.

I put the jack on the front subframe (make sure its not on the oil pan) directly in the middle. In the rear most cars you can place the jack on the diff (except the E46).

I lift one corner and place the jack stand on the corner beside it (front/rear). Depends on what kind of work you are doing.. if you need more height, then use the differential or engine lift points. Post #6 of this thread. https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1133432

This was my solution; it allows me to get the car up on four jack stands in just a few minutes: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show...00&postcount=1.
