General notes on using twin-pillar lifting platforms
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW 525i, 2002 BMW 525i, and 2001 BMW 525i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For the twin-pillar lifting platforms described, the BMW multi-trailer is positioned in the direction of travel on the platform. For lifting platforms which do not create sufficient clearance between disk wheel and carrier arms, move the BMW multi-trailer against the direction of travel onto the platform.
