Rear centre jacking point

Hi all,

I am left a little confused when reading through all the threads. I have a Pre-face lift E85.

So There is no front centre jacking point unless it is a "M" but it does have rear centre where the cross members are are bolted on?

I want to change the rear shocks but I always find myself spending more time faffing with axle stands then doing the work.
 
Where the two bolts are for where the cross braces meet the differential is where you should jack from. Use a piece of wood or dense foam on top of your jack so you don't damage the bolt heads.

Hot damn my undercarriage doesn't look at smooth, is that a Pre facelift? I seem to be missing the Diff guard on mine.

Haha, its not my picture. Probably from years ago when these were newer.

This is where I thought it was just wanted to sanity check.
