IND | Rogue Engineering E46 M3 Aluminum Lifting Block Set

I thought it was ok to quickly lift from one rear point in a pinch for a flat

It is. The other E46s come with a factory jack that actually is made just for using any of the four factory jack pad locations.
The BMW accessory “Emergency Spacesaver Spare & Jack” kit come with similar jack and same use instructions.

do you drive up boards or ramps to get enough height for a jack to get to the hockey puck?

I use a race jack on the front right or left jack pad to get the tire 1-2” off the ground, then I’ll use a low profile jack to lift from the center puck. Boards or ramps work too.

do you drive up boards or ramps to get enough height for a jack to get to the hockey puck? what's the difference between lifting the car by the jack blocks and resting the car on the jack blocks+jack stands?

Yes I put the front up slightly on ramps to get to the hockey puck when I want to put the front on stands.

I never lift the car by the jack blocks. Rear subframe and front "hockey puck" on the reinforcement plate.

Is the rear jackpoint issue primarily when you try to jack the car up from one of them (meaning ~half the car's weight is on it)? I almost always jack from the rear subframe so both rears come up off the ground equally then use the factory rear jackpoints for my jack stands (so only a ~quarter of the car's weight is on each point).

This appears to be only for the Rear. No front use.

The front jack pads are fine to use with a jack, so no need.

[old///MFanatic]

Is this only for the front or is there a rear brace in the rear that you can attach this to?

This appears to be only for the Rear. No front use.

I think that cutout is a non issue, I've lifted vehicles straight off that bolt before in a pinch, this solution can only be better than that.

Clever idea, but part of me feels like its a solution looking for a problem.

[Obioban]

Yeah but now the specially made dedicated jacking point is missing like 50% of its surface and has a weird shape that won't nicely fit a floor jack, bottle jack, jack stand, etc?

I guess we’d have to get one in person to see, but I’d envision a jack cup fits around it and by sitting prouder than the v brace, creates an edge so the jack doesn’t slip off when raising/lowering.

The cutout is for the v brace, no?

Would have been nice to not have the giant cutout in it and be more of a flat or at least uniform surface?

The metal on my jack point/jack stand points is tearing through in some areas. Pretty nerve racking although i put backup stands wheels or a jack on all four corners. Def would like to see a solution for all 4 corners to reinforce or repair those areas.
