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?

As far as the rear jacking point, I use the cross member that is directly behind the rear diff. The front jack point is mounted directly to the same type of cross member and I have had no issues using it in the rear.
I have this jack from sears..
Dont get the cheaper $200 version as it has gotten terrible reviews across the board.
Also, this jack works fine on the rear jack point without needing to pull up on anything. On the front, I have a 2X4 that I put under each tire that gives me the clearance I need. This is with the car probably being dropped an inch or so from stock.
