There's 4 factory jack points. Look to the under side of the rocker panels and you'll see behind the front wheels little cut outs and inside there are slots. The rear points are foward of the back wheels. You might want to use a small piece of a 2x4 or hockey puck to avoid direct contact with the metal jack. You can also do a search on here and I know there's pics on this.

I usually jack mine up in the garage

But seriously, the post above answers this question very well.

Get yourself some jacking pucks (BMW ones work great) and install them in the factory jacking points mentioned in your owner's manual. For the rear, you can also use the crossmember if you place a piece of wood or a metal plate on the jack pad.
