David, Sorry I left that part out. On my cars (I never did it on my Z4) I use a jack under the front axel then jack it up and set the car on jacks. Don't forget to use some other safety support (like a wheel and some blocking bed=fore going under the car).

I am sure if you Google your concerns there are tons of more helpful hints out there. Good Luck.

Cheers, Rolf
