I also have the SGS 2 ton low profile trolley jack, if you buy it make sure you get the rubber jacking pad that sits in the jack where it contacts the jacking point, it's round but it works just fine with the z4 square jacking points.step_change wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:28 pm Hey guys,
How does a generic trolley jack mate with the specific jacking point of the Zed? I hear there is a hardened rubber adapter?

Also is there a jacking point in the center front/rear to lift the entire front or rear of the car with a trolley jack?
That said, I might just go with an E46 simple jack.

Only z4ms have the front central jacking point I believe, other models just have the rear one.step_change wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:45 pm Also is there a jacking point in the center front/rear to lift the entire front or rear of the car with a trolley jack?

I wouldn't be jacking my car up on the standard E46 scissor jack, it's designed as a emergency jack not something I would reccomend using oftenstep_change wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:45 pm Also is there a jacking point in the center front/rear to lift the entire front or rear of the car with a trolley jack?
