Question - when you jack from that point can you get the entire side to lift so you can put both the front and back on jack stands?

So far I've been doing one wheel at a time and using the jack to support. I'm not happy with this method.

Also, does no one make an insert that will go on a regular jack and fit the BMW points?

I'm thinking of going this route of cutting existing stands as I already have 3 sets and don't want to buy another.

The issue is I believe the jack points are meant to hold the vehicle from the inside and outside at the same time: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727131
