Assuming your driveway is level...

On the W210 there is a rubber bumper on the cross member under the front of the engine. A low profile floor jack can be inserted from the front or with the wheels turned far right between the left wheel and fender. After raising you can put jack stands under the front jack supports. Some people raise the rear using the diff case. I prefer to raise each rear wheel with the car's emergency jack using the jack hole and then place the jack stand under the rear support.

When working under a car on jack stands, especially alone, remove a couple of the wheels and lay under the car's frame.

FYI - Some ramp makers are now selling attachments to fit under newer low profile cars.
