Jacking points on E70 X5

Saw a couple of threads recently on this site for jacking up the E53 X5. I don't know if those two jacking points referenced are acceptable for the E70. We recently purchased a 2008 E70 X5. I want to be able to switch summer tires for winter tires with relative ease. I wanted to know if there are jacking points other than the ones on the sides, one just behind the front wheel and one just in front of the rear wheel. I need to be able jack it high enough to put a Wheelfloat wheel dolly under the tires, which means I need to lift the car to where the tires are about 12 inches off the ground. Then I want to put jack stands under the built in lifting points but the quandry is these are being used to lift the car already. I have a good 4000 lb hydraulic jack from Sears and have lifted the car already but by using the built in lifting points I can not put jack stands under the car. Can anyone out there tell me specifically what they are doing with their E70 or E53 X5s to jack them up to a height like I am talking about and still put jack stands under them?

Thanks!
