Is there another rear lifting point so that I can jack the rear and change both tires at the same time??
If this is the only 'designed' rear lift point, then it is pretty poor engineering by BMW.

The area you're identifying as a "strut" is actually part of the differential. I would not recommend this as a lift point. Why can't you reach the lift point, are there clearance issues, or is the saddle on your jack gigantic..?

Yes, place the jack stands under the jack pads at the locations indicated in the first photo in the OP.
