I am pretty sure that's the jack point for the front and the rear jack point will be the diff, not the diff cover so the side closer to the engine. Unfortunately that seems to be your oil pan gasket leaking. The oil is drained through the plug at the bottom, there is really no other way for oil to be that high on the pan.

Hi the 435i in theory shouldnt be much different than the 3 series. I will link this youtube video here, you will need a special jack stand adapter because BMW is....special =).

This link should provide you some insight.

Safety being the most important priority, I would prioritize ramps over jack stands.

Especially if the car will be on any type of incline - like in that video

Jack stands + incline = No No

I did not notice the incline at first. Thanks for mentioning it. As I see this elevated configuration with jacks again .... chills and more chills.

Please buy some ramps.

I would do the same.. Always use your ramps and have a spotter to make sure nothing starts moving.
