128i convertible - special considerations needed when changing tires

Ok, thinking about putting winter tires/wheels on and would like to do it myself.

There are jack points behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel on each side of the car.

If I simply get a floor jack, put a rubber mat (hockey puck) between the jack and the car, lift one wheel at a time and change it, are there any special considerations?

Sorry for the mundane question, but I've seen some posts on here that are incredibly complicated about not lifting on the differential, lifting the entire front of the car because of damage to alignment, using a low profile jack (how low?), etc. etc. etc.

It can't be that complicated, right?

Thanks to anyone that would like to weigh in on this. TIA
