Getting ready for a oil change in a few days, where is the best/"correct" jacking point on a Mz5? I was gonna use the middle of the crossmember, but thought I'd get some input first.
My Mz6 has a cutout in the bumper cover/ bottom shield for the jack.

Ended jacking it up behind the front wheels. I hate ramps but I may have to buy them for this car. Man, is this thing low! Couldn't get the jack under the crossmember! Well, I could but I couldn't pump the handle as it was tight against the body.
About as easy as my Mz6 but the 5 took longer to get the under cover off. If the hole in the cover was under the filter this would be a 10 Min job!

Low?????

Try jacking up a C5. You need jacking pucks to avoid damaging the body, and even a low profile jack won't go under the side near the front unless you have a perfectly level surface.
