The Daytona jack I mentioned gets the e53 X5 up in the air plenty high. I got the transmission on the small trans jack out from underneath without having to do anything special, just lift it and use the jack stands on a high setting.
With the floaty stock suspension, it will still get the rear tire in the air when lifting from the front side point. So it's easy to swap tires on each side.
I have another older slightly smaller grey 2.5 ton one that's pretty close but it can't really do anything compared to it. I want to trade that for the big one.
My garage isn't big enough to lift the rear diff straight back from 6:00 as you normally would, the door is in the way and it's been too cold to open it. But I figured out you can lift on the diagonal, put the jack over near where the wheel / jack stand will be. The rear is kind of easier to do this way, easier to see.
Are you asking if you can lift the entire X5 from one central point, all four wheels? Lol. Think about center of gravity and balance on an x and y-axis. I don't think any car and floor jack has ever done that, and if anyone ever tried, something bad or really bad happened.
