What floor jack and jack stands?

Hey all, was trying to do a bit of basic maintenance, and I found out quickly that I don't have the basics covered for this car. So looking for a floor jack and jack stands that suit an M3 xDrive. I read around a little bit and based on what I saw, I think this is a good option for a jack:

Can anyone confirm that? Also, what type of jack stands are you using> (preferably with the adapters to match the factory jack points)

Any advice here is appreciated, itching to start swapping some things out underneath

You can get pretty much any jack stands with the U-shaped feet and get the adapter from ebay

There's an old adage - if your life depends on something's reliability, don't buy it from harbor freight. Jack? Sure. Jackstands? No way in bloody hell. Get quality ones, and get the adapters from eBay as previously posted.

Hahaha ok, I have some ones with the U-shape cradle - I'll go get some adapters on ebay. Thank you!
