the front jack point is always the same, the middle of the front subframe. the shrouds do make it difficult to locate sometimes but you can check from the sides and make sure it lines up. almost every BMW I've owned can be jacked in the rear via the diff (except the E46). just make sure it's not on the diff cover and solely on the solid diff body.

I have a couple of those decent Pittsburgh Jack's and stands. I use rubber jack pads inside the cups. one is a low profile one that gets under every car at the above listed jack points fine except the e30 (it's on h&r springs). just gotta drive up on some wood ramp extensions I made.

anyway, get the jack under the front subframe, get her up, then I put the stands on the side jack points (sometimes inside on the frame rails on some cars). then I proceed to the rear and jack the diff, then put the other set of stands on side rear jack points. when doing the rear, the car pivots on the front stands, almost likes it's a fulcrum. as long as the jack rolls along and the front stands remain fully seated on the ground, you'll be good to go.

give the car some pushes from the side to make sure it doesn't move then you are all set.
