Have you actually lifted the car with these things? How solid are they? I have seen the hockey pucks distort a lot more than you would expect. I have the EE aluminum pucks and they work great but if these do the trick they are a bit more convenient.

Yes, I lifted my car with the BMW pucks. They're a thick reinforced plastic/nylon material which are very rigid.

That's what I've been looking for. I saw simular kinds at double the price. These for just under $7 are perfect. Does it have to be for that model only,,, you mentioned a 330i 2002 ?

Those Beemer pads look pretty stealthy, you say you leave them installed all the time? I was considering these http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-corvette.html and just carrying them in the trunk (and hope I never need them).
Any thoughts?

Yes leave them in all the time. Unless you lay down on the ground you can't tell they are there. Picked mine up at local BMW dealer. Been in for over a year now. Lift the car with those no problems. Haven't broken them yet. They are handy if you just need to pop a corner up.

If you're going to be working for a while I still prefer a 2x4 on my jack slid under the frame and lift either the whole front or back.

these are what i have. mine is a heavy wieght cpe and has had no issues with them breaking or coming loose. been in the car for just shy of two yrs now and lifted many times with floor jacks and lifts. the mechanics love these at the dlr too. they are always in and they dont have to mess with their loose metal ones before the lift. put them in and leave em in, they are not noticeable

And thats exactly what I do, keep them in the trunk for when I need them. Worked get on a lift, jacking corners, etc.

Mine are pretty cheap.

I use the knock-outs from using a 2.5" holesaw cutting thru 2x studs.

Not snazzy looking but I don't care if I lose 'em

I have had these on my C5 vert. for over 4 years.Work great and are very hard to see. I did lose one a couple of years ago. They are less than $7 apiece and snap in quickly so it was no big deal.

I have rocker savers on my car (came with them already installed) and they get in the way of installing these. Any suggestions? Or do I have to get a different style pad?

Tell me about it, I ordered a set and have the same problem. Oh well, I'd rather have the rocker rails than these on all the time.

I figure I'll just sell them or give them away at the first Corvette meet I go to.
