I did the rear after I got home Friday night from work. Took me 30 minutes or so. You can crawl under the rear with it on the ground and do it no issue like I did.
The front you have to get up in the air. I drove it up on my ramps and then put a jack under the rear differential (one of the few BMW approved jack points) and raised it up until it was level. Make sure you put the jack stand in front of the rear differential's back plate as specified by BMW. That's 2000lbs you're jacking up back there ALONE! (Side note I put my X3 on my new scales last year and it was EXACTLY 1000lbs on each corner
)
The front probably took me twice as long because I didn't remove that plate and getting it up in the air and then positioning everything.
