00 .. ... Lifting vehicle with a lifting platform

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW Z8, 2002 BMW Z8, 2001 BMW Z8, and 2000 BMW Z8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Before driving onto a lifting platform, make sure there is sufficient ground clearance between the lifting platform and the car.
The lifting platform must comply with the relevant statutory accident prevention regulations and be serviced according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Lifting platform securing points (1) must be fitted to the vehicle. If necessary, remove these securing points (1) from the equipment pack and clip into bores in front and rear spoiler area from below.

The vehicle may only be raised at the four reinforced supports!

NOTE: Follow the lifting gear operating instructions.
In particular, follow the safety instructions and observe the carrying capacity of the lifting gear.
