How to get M2 onto jack stands?

I'm looking to buy a jack and jack stands so that I can do some routine maintenance, such as oil changes and brakes, on my 2018 M2.

I can not seem to find a low profile jack that has a long enough chassis to reach the front center lift point shown in another post I found on this forum (e.g. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1306220 ), that would allow me to put jack stands under the lifting points along the side rockers. I have measured from the front lip of the bumper to that front center lift point and it measures almost 38 inches, but the longest jack chassis I can find is the Arcan XL2T Black Low Profile Steel Service Jack which only has a 32 inch chassis (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007G83T16..._t5_B00FN9F69I ). Another thread in this forum had a link to a Compac model jack listed at $625 that might work ( http://www.reverselogic.us/jacks---l...tegory=6233010 ), but there is no way I'm paying that much for a car jack...

Can any of you guys give me some tips on how to get this car up off the ground and onto some jack stands without shelling out ridiculous cash for QuickJacks?
