How to jack up the G20 with jack stands

Ok so looking to change the oil...

Jacking the car:
- clear and obvious jack points under the car to jack the car up with a traditional one point jack.
- Once the car is jacked up, need a spot nearby to place a jack stand (for safety).
- Where do you place the jack stand? There are panels covering almost everything underneath the car so its hard to know where is a strong point to place these.

Anyone can show me four points near the four jack points to place a jack stand while the jack is using the proper jack point.

I feel dumb asking this - never had this issue before

I’m pretty sure it’s been determined that there is no front center Jack point for the G20. I can’t comment on the rear, sorry.

It’s been determined ISTA does specify a front central jack location, see this thread: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1976547
