Nope, it's a basic flaw with Civics, though a minor one. My winter Jetta is the same way with jacking points as your BMW but the Civic just has a 4 inch spot near each wheel.
A lot of cars are like that not just hondas.
Anyhow, a day late and a dollar short but if you've got a regular hydrolic jack I just slide it under the chasis sub frame area where the lower control arms connect to... then just jack it up place your jack stands at the jack points and your done.
If your car is lowered, a lot of those cheapo jacks won't fit under the car but there are some nice low profile ones that have a low profile steel roller along the front instead of those two steel wheels that the cheap ones have and the actual cradle part is at least 2 inches lower so it slips under cars that are lowered:thumbup:
