That is what I was hoping.. Good luck and many happy

Without the pucks or some other spacer the glass body panel can be damaged were it covers the frame when lifted.
Have a look at the links below

places you can purchase the pucks. I purchased mine for the C5 at
Forum vendor LAPD. Give them a call, I am sure they will confirm
weather or not they will work. Let us know what you learn ...

There is another option...pick up lifting pads/pucks from your local BMW dealer (for the 3 series)...they cost about $35 for four of them and you can permanently mount them (they snap right in) and they have lower profile so that you have to get on the ground to actually see them. This way you don't have to worry about taking your vehicle in and ensuring that the tech uses the proper pads or that he put in the ones you've asked him to use...these will save you a lot of headaches.
