Jack pads ?

Trying to jack up my new M4 to put front lip on was interesting to say the least.
Trying to keep the round floor jack from slipping off the jack point was a pain.
Where can I purchase some jack pads anyone know?
thanks

spend 20 bucks on a jack pad and avoid damaging your plastic jack points

I have several different ones, but the ones from Burger for $19 + shipping were the best bang for the buck plus they have that nice crosscut pattern on the bottom. However, you'll need at least two, and ECS Tuning has them for $24.95 plus free shipping over $49.

I got the polyurethane ones from amazon. $15 bucks for a pair. They work just fine as far as I can tell. The Burger aluminum ones are a little more bling but I don't know if they work any better.

That is all I have ever used for the past 10+ years, never had an issue. Come to think of it I'm still using the same original puck from back then LOL

Hockey pucks work fine and are very inexpensive.

+1 for $1 hockey puck, and I chiseled it to look like the ECS pad and wrapped with a nice aluminium foil it's been in operation for 15 years!

To the OP, doesn't your jack have a rubber surface? Most of the damage I had in my prior BMWs jack pads was from the jack stands and not the jack.

Amazon searched for BMW jack pad adapter and found aluminum ones from a company called potauto... decent quality, prime shipping and $20 each.

Are you sure it's not a $1 hockey puck chiseled to look like the ECS pad and wrapped with a nice aluminium foil?

I've got the Burger joints and use them often. Great product and the cross-hatch pattern adds a little traction against the floor jack contact point. Definitely worth the investment.

I was jealous of the Burger Jack Pad so I upgraded my $1 puck to a CF, only the best for our cars!
