I've got two methods.

1. I have one low profile jack and one non. Low profile with BMW jack puck on left front lifting location to raise the vehicle high enough to slide the other jack either at the center front location or the rear differential. Raise the vehicle to the desired height and lower onto jack stands. I use small wood blocks that fit into the jacking locations so as the jack stands do not destroy the plastic lifting point cups/pockets.

2. Using the low profile jack, lift at the rear left point high enough to put a jack stand at the front left jack point and then lower down onto the jack stand. Next I now have enough room to slide the low profile jack to the center front location. To raise the rear reverse the initial jacking location and jack stand.

At the end of the day it's up to you but I've found a quality low profile jack is key.
