Front center jacking point on F85?
Hello,
New to the forum. I'm trying to understand how to lift my 2016 X5M at the front center so that I can put two jack stands on the designated two spots on the side. I searched everywhere and found some information that pertains to the previous gen X5M, that had factory dedicated spot in the front center. I cant seem to find any such spot on my 2015. I crawled under this morning and had a good look and all I see is plastic as far as the eye can see Does anyone know what the trick is to put a jack at the center front? Is there a strong spot under the plastic somewhere? Thanks! |

I'm not positive about this, but when my car was new I went into the technician who was doing my 1200 mile service and wanted to know exactly how to jack it up in case of a flat tire or something. He showed me the markings on the front sides by the tires, nothing was mentioned about the front of the car. I would find out definitively before trying something like that.

There is, I believe it is behind the engine if you look at the car from the front.
It is covered by the undercover piece. Unfortunately, I don't have picture.

There's a picture in my oil diy thread in the F15 forum. But if you get under there and feel around there is a indentation in the noise deadening cover where the jack goes.
