To clarify what Terrance914 is saying, he says BLOCK. Kids, make sure you don't confuse that with OIL PAN.

Actually, I do mean BLOCK. I have a 911 and the engine is in the back, and there is no oil pan. Actually, it's not even a block, they are suppose to be called "engine case"
But yeah, nice car

No offense taken.
Yes, DON"T jack up by the oil pan. It will flex and your gasket won't be so kind to you anymore.

There is a also a central jack point in the front of the car, BEHIND the radiator If you are slammed you will need a REALLY low clearance jack to reach it. I usually drive up on blocks and jack from it to do the front brake pads/fluid.

Guys, guys, yes most cars can be jacked from the diff but for those who don't own an E46 M3, there's actually a safer spot, a cross member, to jack the car and it's just inches in front of the diff. The diff is not designed to carry 1500+lbs! You can get away with jacking the diff sure but I just wouldn't...
