Default BMW pucks

I got the BMW pucks and they work and look like they belong there. Leave em in or take em back out, your choice.

I used the BMW pucks today on a lift. Worked great. When you snap 'em in they will still move around a tiny bit if you push on them, but they are definitely in there, because when you try to pull 'em out, it takes a bit of prying, which is good because that means they should stay put. But, would they rattle if you leave them on and drive with them on? It sure would be nice to be able to leave them in, but I don't want to hear them rattle around, or worse fall out, because I don't want to lose them.

Anyone with experience in this area?

I leave the BMW pucks on all the time. They do snap in tightly and they do not rattle. Removing them is easily done with a screw driver for leverage. They're hardly visible when installed. Unless your car is extremely lowered they should not cause you any concern unless running over roadkill and very tall speed bumps. I haven't lost one yet after 1,400 miles with them installed.
