Cool feature I'd never seen

Did you know that the Jack points have arrows molded into the side skirts?

BMW have copied other manufacturers.

Had not noticed, cool.

But one question, I picked up some jack pads which were spec for "BMW/Mini" and the rectangles are quite a bit smaller than the frame receivers. They fit fine but there is a half inch of room. Is there more than one size here?

Good question. The specification should say they are for your vehicle, not generic "BMW/Mini".
Having said that I have kept the one I purchased for my 2007 E91 325d M Sport and it has been a snug fit for other later models.
I would have said that having half an inch of room is not a problem because after all the object of the exercise is spread the load between the pad and the jack, without the car slipping off when it is raised off the ground.
