Jack pad adapter and pads

[BMWManiac]

Anyone know where the cheapest place is to get these or is it impossible to find them any cheaper than about $30 each? I found the pads for $7 each.....and 4000 posts finally.

I just saw this on another thread. The E46 jack pads are the preffered choice, and cheaper.

Yeah, but I'd like to buy them at the same place (one stop shopping!) What is the main difference and why are they preferred?

Pelicanparts and Bavauto are the only place that I have found that sell the adapters that insert into the stock jack points.

I love my e46 jack pads....they hold and fit perfectly.

I put the e46 one on my 325i and they're still there after a year of my brother driving around.

I've replaced the e36 one on my m twice last year.

Only complaint about the e46 jack pad is it hangs kind of low and is really obvious when you're looking from the side.

Looking at the pic of the one for the E46 M3, I don't see how it will stay in? The one for the E36 has compression tabs to keep it from falling out....
