I know exactly how to jack the car up, and I'm using the reverse logic pad adapter thing. Are people using the exposed frame inside the wheel well like in this post on E90post?

Not real sure what you are looking for. I just jacked up the car probably at least 7 times over this past weekend fiddling with my exhaust.
Procedure as followed:
Drive up front wheels onto bricks (actually, I jacked up each side high enough to place a brick underneath the tire and then lowered each side). I then used the front middle jack point to jack up the entire front of the car. I then placed jack stands on each side in the designated areas. For adapters I simply bought some 1 inch tubular steel stock and cut them into ~2.5 inch long blocks.
For the rear, very similar. Jacked up the car by the rear differential (be sure to NOT be on the rear diff cover) and then just place the jackstands again using the adapters (as described above).
