Yeah, but hey if you drive a FFRR, come on, a stamp .....
It,s expensive but I could not get it here in France and it's really a very handy tool.

This is the best one IMO...

As above - the Mercedes Sprinter bottle jack is almost effortless to use.

I used the Merc bottle jack last week due another flat and easy peasy !!! MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Not sure if the FFRR has the same lifting peg hole as the D3, but if it does I now do a washer and R clip kit for the Sprinter jack: http://www.disco3.co.uk/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=8

Just and collected this brand new unused blue Merc Sprinter Bottle jack. £20 cash (chap says they're £180 from Mercedes).

Absolute bargain and also comes with new tool kit in grey sleeve comprising jacking pole, wheel brace, spanner and screw driver with 4 head types including star heads.

Does this jack need amending for use with the RR or not please. I think Contraband says fine as is, others weld pieces onto the end and if I'm reading correctly, Martin hopes his washer and R clip attached to it might do the trick (which would seem like a hassle free and safe, quick win)?

My one fits in the jacking point diagonally. It works fine, but I would recommend fitting the correct BMW style end piece. Previously..

My kit will only be suitable if the FFRR can be lifted in a similar manner to the D3/RRS, which have holes in the chassis rail for this purpose.

Oh well, in for a penny....
