Time to change wheels for the winter!

I have a standard garage-jack. but do I need some blocks to put into the
jack-supports on the underside of the chassis in order not to break them? I know the original BMW jack will fit straight into the jack-supports - but a garage jack is simpler to use.

There is two center points, one in the front and one at the rear, where you can use the garage-jack to lift both wheels at the same time. They are easy to locate.

Jack position on X1

I have a similar comment - I used my 2010 C Class Mercedes jack as it has the same jack head size and fits the X1 jack slot fine.
When using a jack I like to place a safety block under the X1 while removing the wheel but I am unsure where to place it.
Can anyone help with front & rear locations ?

Hei, jeg brukte bare en liten trekloss mellom garasjejekken og løftepunktene under bilen. Det gjør løftet noe mykere samt at treklossen festet seg i sporene på jekken. Men viktig at klossen er solid nok slik at den ikke sprekker når du jekker opp bilen. Nå venter jeg bare på snøen

Getting the X1 xDrive fitted with Nokian WR G2 225/50 R17 98V XL M+S tyres.

Will let you know how we get on as we plan to run these all year round as they are clasified as 'All Weather Plus' tyres with the M+S specification.
