How Do U Jack Your Car Up With Modded Skirts

[buuhh99]

[mmclaren]

usually 2 plug holes on the skirting u can take out, jam the jack in there and up she goes

[Cruzin 323is]

u get a hydrolic jack... and just slip it under the car under the chasis... and your good to go!!

i went out and bought a good jack b/c the bmw jack is SHIT!! and my car allmost fell because of that thing!!

There are 4 designated mounting points for the jack. Normally where the jack holes should have been, feel underneath on the chassis directly below the jack holes. You should be able to find 4 rubber pads. Use these 4 points for using your hydralic jack..

the BMW jack is okay. In fact I like it other than the first time I used it and almost got my skull crushed in when the car dropped. But you just got know how to use it well. I was also wondering when I get my M3 sideskirts what will i do to jack up my car

The rubber pads may be gone as the can fall off..use this reinforced part of the chassis..

[PhunkDJti]

hydrolic jacks are always the best to use.

o yea and compared to the factory domestic jacks ( the ones that come ford/chevy, etc) the bmw ones are amazing

[bigred318]

so what if you get a flat on the side of the road have no jack holes have no other jack and your car is slammed? your screwed huh haha

u can buy a universal jack at pretty much anystore... most chasis are the same.. they just clip under the skirt!!

[RIBEMR26]

Where would you put Jack Stands that are in the shape of a "Y" at the top???

[Furious]

get new jack pads, all aftermarket co. take them into consideration and make sure you can get to them, just get new ones, i did, i was missing 2 of them, now that i have all 4 its all good.

[Delmarco]

jesus...how often are you planning on jacking up your car?

i've only jacked up once and that was for fun. Once when I got a flat I was able to drive a few miles thru the city to a tire shop where they lifted my car on a platform and change my tire.

Just get jacks that the E46 use.....if you know what I mean and chances are you'll never use it....
