If you need to lift your BMW 1 Series E81, E87, E82, E88, it's important to obey the owner's manual recommendations and only use the dedicated jacking points. It's not that easy if you want to put your car on jack stands. Also, the jacking points are of specific shape and you will require good jacking pads for these points in order to not damage anything.
In this video, I will explain to you how jacking up the BMW 1 Series works and what you should know about that. Also, I will tell you more about the pads and stands and what to do if you need to lift the car on the central jacking point. I hope this helps!
