Centre front jacking point

[stupot67]

Evening all,

I've had a search through a few threads but can't find a definitive answer...... Do face lifts have a centre front jack point, I see the recessed area on the under tray, but can't see if there is anything substantial behind it to take the load?

Cheers

Stu.

Believe it's only on ///M cars, rest have a central rear jacking point, but no central front.

Yes, confirmed. Only on the M, great feature

Bloody stupid it's only on the M - never understood that

And for the avoidance of doubt don't look at the alloy cross member and think 'that looks like a nice lifting spot'. As a minimum you'll need to realign your steering and as a couple have found you can turn the cross member into a banana and have to buy another, then re-align

Another argument for when we have the M versus 3.0 discussions in the future

Bigger engine, LSD and .... central jacking point

Agree with Bing.......I tried jacking it the alternative way (Jacking the rear high enough to get a stand under the front), ended up about 30mm short - A**e

Isn't the facelift the same/ similar as the M though??! With regard to the front jacking point that it ...

Edit - Actually I'm more confused now I've gone onto the other forums. I'm sure I found some decent info a while back. Forget what I've said for now.

You and me both Pal - Im sure I read that face lift (Roadster and coupe) could be lifted from a central point at the front. But it seems that Isn't the case.

Cheers Stu, I'm not going mad. I've jacked from it with confidence ... Maybe I shouldn't have but I found something done time ago about it being different in the facelift. But don't go off my word at all - don't want to be responsible for anybody folding their zed like origami

Just for the record, TIS suggest's that there is a central front jacking point on face lift models (I didn't think I was losing the plot).......So who's going to give it a go?

I need to change the front reinforcement plate at some point, I shall have a look when I do. Tbh I think my car is too low to even get a low profile car jack under the front though

I have taken a picture before of the M jacking point, let me see if I can find it. I have NOT seen this on any non M though.

Not my picture, but this is the M:
