2012 R56 Jack Points

I recently purchased this 2012 S and was wondering where the jack points were when using a floor jack. I quickly realized that you can’t fit a full size floor jack under this car so here is my remedy. I hope this helps others. Pretty easy if you have a table saw or router table.

Good stuff, NAM members are always thinking.

Modmini (mod is very close to god) also has a good video.

Just make sure you use oak or a hard wood, i have seen wood split on the grain in half under weight. Just be careful and watch what you do. I dont want something to move on you and then the car fall.
