Jacking & Hoisting: OUTERBODY
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW 540i, 2003 BMW 530i, and 2003 BMW 525i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Those points designated on the outline of the body were specifically designed to facilitate the use of the vehicle's own jack. These jacking points are indicated by circular dots on the outline of the body. See Figure. If using floor jack or hoist, exercise extreme care to avoid damaging outer body shell.
