My Ride: 2007 550i, Titanium Silver/Black, 6-Sp Steptronic, Sport Package, HD Radio, Sirius, Premium Sound, GPS Nav, Cold Pkg, cell phone cradle, iPod through the AUX port
1976 Datsun 280Z, Charcoal/Black, 5-Sp Manual, A/C, American Mags, CD, Tom Tom 930 GPS (works better than the BMW!) and the rest is pretty much stock
Looked in the manual but couldn't find where to safely put either a front end jack or 4-point garage lift so I can change my oil - ideas anybody? Ramps are out.

Just look underneath the car, you'll find out - I hope.

The service intervals are ridiculously long!
Since I lease, I just use BMW's maintenance program but if I owned the car, I would definitely change the oil every 5,000 miles or so - a cheap way to avoid headaches later.
