BMW jack supports on C6
Thanks to a formum member who suggested using the BMW jack supports on your C6. This looks like a no brainer to me. For a total
of $36.00 which includes shipping the pucks snap into the jacking
spots and remain on your car. You can't see them unless you are flat on your back looking under the car. This takes all the mystery out of where to place the jack.

Click on jack supports and then go to 318i series
of $36.00 which includes shipping the pucks snap into the jacking
spots and remain on your car. You can't see them unless you are flat on your back looking under the car. This takes all the mystery out of where to place the jack.

When I ordered mine from BMW, the guy asked what year I had. I said, "a 2005" and he chimed with, "Corvette," before I could even say Corvette.
He said he sold more for Corvettes than BMW's!

The customer before me had just bought some of these jacking pucks is what the parts guy told me. They work great and are still in

They work great on a C5. You might want to stop at your local BMW dealer and save some money. They have them in stock for $5.95 each plus you will save on the S/H.

I went to a BMW dealer today and the parts guy said that they have a number of different lifting pads in stock.

I assumed that this was the Bavarian Autosport number and didn't have it with me. I didn't see the reference to the 1998 318i. I'll use it next time I'm in their neighborbood.

The jack pad is actually the one for a BMW E-36 chasis, and the 1998 318i is one of the several models built on the E-36.

Silly comment from the counter parts guy
I went to pick up the 4 jack pucks at the bmw dealer which coincidently is a dual point BMW and Chevy store. Price was great at $21.60 plus tax (BMWCCA 10% discount).
The counter parts guy says to me...."which car is this for?". I replied 2005 Corvette. He then said that the parts will not be returnable since it is going on a Corvette. Huh??
He confirmed that if it is going on my BMW (which I have 2) then I can return it. Life is filled with silly comments (and silly people).
The pucks were installed in about 30 seconds.

I keep some billet jacking pucks in the rear compartments.
