cheers
Please note that the above jack is a single screw jack and I would suggest designed for a lighter motor than the E90 series.
The jack in BMW kit No. B71.10.6.773.536 is as recommended by BMW for the E90 series. It is a true scissor jack with two lead screws which would mean less effort in lifting the load and less stress on the jack. Also the load will be lifted in a true vertical line unlike the E46 jack.
I personally would not recommend an E46 jack for use with the E90.
