Can anyone recommend a long flat jack sufficient for the central under the engine jack point please?
It's a bit of a mare trying to do it with my cheap halfords jack (on a F10). I don't think the standard flat ones are long enough but not sure in all honesty, so hoping someone on here has come up with a cheap enough solution.

Been perfect for every E39 I've worked on and my E65/F01 7 series too
Fit my pals OEM Hella headlights to my 540i this afternoon
His M5 has had catastrophic engine failure described as 'th'engines shat itself lad' by his mechanic
So it's off the road for the foreseeable future (hence why he's just gone and bought a local E46 325i touring with all the bells & whistles (and a fair bit of front arch rust, but none on the rears weirdly)!
Anyways; his loss is my gain as my headlights, as good a condition they are, the adjusters are fubar etc and that's out of my remit!

Lucky that my pals are only 2 years old as his original set went the way of the dodo
Gave my other half’s 125i an interim oil change (it reckons 9k until the next one).
I still need to do the diff and gearbox oil, but I’ll do that this weekend when I have more time. The diff oil is going to be an absolute ball ache due to the chassis bracing being a cab. Can’t wait to try and get those bolts undone for the first time in 13 years….joy.

MV1s/runflats changed for a set of refurbished MV2s/non-runflats:
Looks nice with the MV2’s; freshens the car up a lot to my eyes.MV1s/runflats changed for a set of refurbished MV2s/non-runflats:
When the 330Ci needs new tyres, I might actually swap the MV1 for the 17 inch Alpina softlines I have sitting in the garage.
