Two questions:
Did you use the special BMW adapter that I've heard is necessary for jacking up an E90? Or is that not really necessary?

Did you notice what number (size) Torx bit is required?

MC, I was lucky that my wife drives a MINI COOPER so I just used the jack that came with her car. It uses the same fitment as the BMW jack so that saved me any problems! Not sure what I'd have done with a normal trolley jack!

As for the Torx bit, I'm afraid I didn't use one! I just used a handy flat head screwdriver which fitted into the plastic screw (it saved me digging out my torx bits) - it isn't in tight, so there was no problem.

Silverado, I'll try when I go home tonight!!
