BMW E85/86 jacking solutions

[GadgetMart]

Hi all, please could I have some help/suggestions regarding jacking the front of my E86 SI.
My current method has failed, the central jacking point at the front is faux and has crumpled under the weight of the car.
How do I jack the front to put the car on axle stands?

Thanks M

The central jacking point isn’t faux. Once the stamped rectangle has crushed down a bit (helps if you use one of the jacking pucks that are designed to fit in the side jacking points) there is a solid cross member underneath. Have confidence.

The metal undertray has two layers about 1cm apart, and rests flush with the cross beam. The stamped area appears to allows deformation so that the integrity of the remainder of the two layer structure remains uncompromised.

Thanks for the reply.
I will invest in a puck and continue as I am.

Jack it on the rear cill jacking points, that'll lift the front off as well - slide stand under jacking poit and repeat on the other side.
