Default EBay jacking pucks

I saw a listing from for permanant jacking pucks. They are designed to snap into the holes. My concern is that they are made of ABS plastic.

The guy has sold quite a few and I was wondering if anyone here has them?

I have BMW round pucks and they look like plastic. They snap in and I leave them in as they are not visible unless you bend down specifically to look.
I have used them to jack up my Vette and they are extremely strong and I have not had any problems.

Default Are these the ones?




Picture swiped from an eBay auction. These ARE the BWM round pucks, which run about $24 for FOUR, at a BMW dealer. Caveat Emptor. Just print this picture and take it to your local Beemer parts department, and save some $$$.

Thanks

I use the hockey pucks, made the myself. Really not much to it and they work great. I don't leave them in, only when I need them.

I went ahead and ordered them from Bavarian. I got the round ones and plan on leaving them on permanantly so the push pin design of the rectangular ones wasn't important.

Will they fit an '08 coupe? They look like well endgineered parts for what they are. My BMW dealership owes me for something they screwed up, maybe its time to cash in!!!
