Yes. If you want both rear wheels off the ground simultaneously, the rear is easy to raise from the center using the frame cross-rail. Then you can place stands on each side at the jack points or the frame. You can see at the beginning of the video that the vehicle is on four stands at all corners. You can leave the jack in place but you want stands under load of course. The front is a bit slower. I have a long-reach low profile jack and I still have to bring the front up one side at a time using the jack points and then place stands under the frame. If you want the front up high, you may need to do it in stages. For a four-wheel lift, I use four stands. I start with putting the front on stands and then bring the rear up as mentioned above. I hope that helps.
BMW and MINI shop would likely want $2,500 - 3,000 . . . if no bolts break. And they often do with these if you're not good with the penetrating oil. Independent shops will be less. But then you'd miss out on all the DIY fun.
Thank you very much sir. I can tackle this one on my own now.
The rear hub assembly bolts are E16, the description is wrong. Great video, helped a lot!
I'm glad it helped and thanks for spotting the typo in the video description. It's fixed. Thanks for sharing.
Dear sir
thanks!
Dude, thank you so much!
Glad to help. Thanks for the comment.
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the vdo, it helped me tremendously. I have BMW x1 F48 which has the same setup.
Same basic xDrive system on both. Glad to hear my video helped and congrats on a good repair.
Where do you put the jack in the back center? I’ve been looking for easier ways to get my f60 up on four stands.

great video! May I ask how much (ball park number) this would cost in parts and labor? Thank you

I’m a little confused on 90 degrees toque. Please help
I got it now. Set to torque then turn 90 degreees
Did I miss how many miles the car had on it?
It came in with the rumble at 77K so it started sometime before that.
