Is this my front jack point? 2000 328i

Yes.. yet another "find that jack point" post. sorry...

I've searched all over for the jack points to lift the front of my 2000 328i... and haven't found a post with photo of the underside that seem to match my car. most of the photos had a hockey-puck like point (M3's), or the aluminum rectangular dimple that people say not to jack (it gets crushed).

So I just took a photo of the underside of my 2000 328i showing what I THINK is the jack point. But wasn't sure. So thought I'd ask before I do something dumb...

the first photo is taken from the front end. the plate on the photo (black cover thing that extend from the front of the car towards the rear) is made of plastic. but there's a round donut-like thing shown in the center of the photo that seem to be made of metal and is not connected to the plastic cover.

So.. is this donut-looking thing my jack point? (want to jack up the car and put the jack stands on the side jackpads behind the front wheel) Or is this one of the deceptive point where I'm not suppoed to use as a jack point?

Also, on the second photo, taken from behind the passenger front tire, there's a plug/hex bolt at the left edge of the photo, at the bottom of the silver rectangular thing. is this the oil drain plug? (the donut ring jack point is just to the right of the plug in question). or is that something else?

...yes.. i'm trying to figure out oil change for the first time...

Yes and yes.

Cool. Thanks!

Oops. I just bent the crap out of that stupid aluminium plate under my front frame- until it hit the frame. Now I have a jacking point.

as long as you place your jack "cup" right on it you should be fine. My never bent so far.

you have an '01 330Ci, you don't have that style of jack point the OP has in his photo.

Yes I do, but it hard to see the op's from that angle.
