![]() ![]() If one is starting a new with a BMW, the better investment is to get the proper flat-top design. Fine if you have stands that you want to trash and make useless for other vehicles. I think the plastic is too thin on the base of the block for repeated application of the vehicle's weight to be loaded on the ceiling of the cavity. Trimming the head of a axle stand to fit inside the recess of the lifting block is not using the block for it's intended design. The blocks are plastic and hollow with a walled cavity so that if they get hit by road debris or strike a curb or manhole cover, they will deform at best and at worst, breakaway from the chassis to prevent damage to the metal of the chassis. The block walls will not collapse if they have not been previously damaged by road debris or by prior improper use (i.e. Sitting correctly means the stands are on a stable surface and are placed directly under the 4 lifting blocks.
