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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 BMW 545i and 2004 BMW 545i. 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.

Make sure that the locating plate (2) of the lifting platform arm does not touch (and thereby damage) adjoining components.
