oil change

How to jack up the 2014 CM JCW for oil change?
There are body kits on both side, do anyone know where is the jack point?

Buy a set of drive on ramps, easier all around.

don't need to jack it up. put a 2x4 under the right tire and the drain plug is easily accessable. also, just enough to put a oil pan to catch the oil....

This is a good idea. But if you do want to jack it up you just do it on the pinch weld. The R60 doesn't have lift pads like the other MINIs.

Where r the pinch welds. One has to be able to jack the countryman up to change a tire.

I can't find the exact jack point, because the side body kit cover it .
