will this floor jack be low enough?

My M2 is stock and I'd like to jack up using the front and rear central jacking points so I can put jack stands in each four corners.

Looking to use this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben.../029121sch01a/

Will it reach?

I can't answer your question, but I will say that I recently found these and purchased them, and they work perfectly for me to be able to jack the car from the center point in the front to add jack stands. They're pretty skinny, but work very well.

Looks the same as my blue point one. If so it should clear as long as stock height and potentially no carbon lip.

For me I'm 20mm lowered with lip and does not clear as the jack point is deep and hits the back side of the jack. I use ramps similar to the other poster to aid with this.

It may not reach. What I did before I bought a quickjack is lift the two front jackpoints with scissor jacks just high enough for the jack to slide in the middle. 2 Scissor jacks are cheaper than ramps and a lot smaller to keep and store.
