A solution for many years: BMW Part # : 51 71 1 960 752.
The good news is that the BMW pads are a one time install that you can leave in the slots with no hassles. Details:

The bad news is that the price has doubled since the above thread. Available from BMW dealers, Bavarian Auto Sports, or other places that deal in BMW parts.

OK, so now I have more to think about.
If I go with the self-made, hockey pucks, how much distance should there be between the puck and the bottom of the eye hole of the screw?
Thanks.

Something else to think about, I have never used jacking pucks and have jacked my 08 dozens of times. If you are careful placing the jack you will not have any problem, the issues most people have is when they take their car to some tire shop or mech that does not know how to jack a corvette. So if you are going to have folks work on your car that don't know corvettes take your pucks with you and make sure they use them, but IMO you will discover that you won't need them in your own shop.

They pretty much go in all the way. The eye begins to bend right at the surface of the puck. Make one, leave it a little loose, try it, tighten until you like it. Even if it is in too far the rubber will deform a little as you insert it in the slot making an even better fit.

Can't help with your question but have to ask......are you opposed to making your own with hockey pucks?
