Jacking points on E39’s

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everybody
I've just bought my first Beamer she is an E39 98 S 523i SE.
I wish to change one of the rear tyres and want to use my trolley jack.
Where can I jack her up at the rear (and Front) with a trolley jack?   
Last car was a Vx Senator and the rear was jacked up by placing a trolley jack under the rear axle cross member chassis mountings.  Front was a large chassis member = piece of cake.
I am unfamiliar with the BMW rear chassis structure (and front), so any help would be greatly received.  
I have had a quick look under her and she has little black plastic inserts stuck on the sill for the wheel changing jack to slot into.  If I take these off can I stick a piece of wood on top of my trolley jack and lift her at the same point?
