If you don't have jacks to lift both left and right wheels at the same time, you can refit a wheel on the hub only (while brake rotor is removed), in order to move the jack to the other side, assuming that:
a) you first screw-in fully a wheel bolt on the hub (rotor and wheel off) and check for interference with the ABS sensor while slowly turning the hub. If there's not interference, you can refit the wheel as you usually do, even if the brake rotor is off;
b) if there's interference with the ABS sensor, then position the wheel hub so that one wheel bolt would point straight to the ABS sensor, then mount the wheel and fit only 4 bolts (all except the one pointing to the sensor). Just make sure you don't rotate the wheel until you remove it again.
It did this years ago on an E28 535i without any issues.
