Quick e90 jack question (changing wheels)

I have a floor jack. I know our cars have that plastic piece at the standard 4 pt jackpoints.

I do not have those rubber adapters and want to use wood blocks. Should I remove the hard plastic pieces first or can I just leave them on?

the hard plastics pieces stick down slightly and are bull for the "BMW jack" to fit inside, but I am not wasting $ on their jack or even $25 on the rubber adapter pads from eds tuning.

Thanks guys, need to get the summer wheels off and winters on... northeast region is getting hit with snow as we speak. I'm looking at 3" off snow outside my window
