Can I use my new BMW to jump start my old Mazda battery?

I have a old Mazda MX5 (99 model) and a BMW 3 series (2008 model). The battery on the Mazda is flat out and I don't have a Break down cover on it. Can I use my new bmw to jump-start the mazda? Or are the new bmw batteries not compatible with the jump cables, etc? Thanks in advance

1. yes you can they all use a 12 volt battery make sure you hook up cables with both cars off than start car with good battery wait 5 minuets shut off car than start the other car this will protect your new cars computer and alternator from voltage spikes
2. sure you can jump it, 12 volts to 12 volts.
