Jacking the E63 ?
Hey guys , I know there is jack points near the front and rear tires , I have pucks that fit into the jack point , but how do I jack the car and put it on jack stands?
Can you give me some safe locations to put the jack ?
Also is there a switch for the air suspension to turn off ? Please enlighten me
thanks

Indeed, it's much easier to jack up in the middle and put the car on stands. I posed the same question in another thread before and got no response.
For the front: If you remove the cover under the engine. There is a rubber block in the middle of the supporting beam. You can jack up over there. Just make sure nothing is slipping because one forum member had a slip and the jack poked through and caused damage.
I'm not sure where to jack up for the rear. One mechanic showed me the solid part on the differential in front of the heat vents. However, it's really difficult to reach there. Never jack up on the heat vents, though. Let me know if you think of something for the rear.

Thanks I didn't know about the spot in the front , I'm going to try the pinch welds along the side , I have one pinch weld magnetic puck to see how that works , the only thing is the body cover covers the pinch welds I'm wondering if I can just flex the cover over without breaking it and pop in the pad , it is kinda flexible
My friend has one of those jacks that lift the car completely off the ground about 2' high , the problem was where our jack locations are was too long to match up with the lift points on the jack , so I was thinking pinch weld pads to line up the rear of the jack and the front will use the factory jack pad locations

You might be interested in some supplies from the company below to help you with various clearance issues. I have bought a jackpad from them around 2 years ago and the quality is very good.

But I want to get my car off all 4s , I want to g2 paint my rotor hats , so that stuff is epoxy based , you mix it and paint away until you done then the mix is garbage , I have OCD with rust on rotor hats and I'm starting to get rust in some in spots so I will attack it before it gets bad
I can change them for racing brake or girodisc rotors but there in such great shape yet why spend the dollars
