Actually, what I was referring to was using a floor jack of this type: floorjack
which is much less expensive, but sturdier and safer than using the BMW jack. However, it is not compatible with the jack pads, and should be applied somewhere at the center of the car under one of the structural elements. Does anybody know where the best place to apply it is for the front and rear?

. The blocks or jack point adapters that others have mentioned are a great idea and will allow for use of the floor jack.

You can jack up the rear on the differential if you have a big enough floor jack.
