Are there axle stands designed to fit BMW's jacking points?

I like these but will they fit?

I have similar and they don't fit my 135i. I therefore bought some BMW rubber jack pads from eBay and place them between the axle stand and jacking points under each side of the car.

Had the whole car lifted for around a week using four at once and when it came off all looked as good as new

I have similar stands and I wouldn't like to use them on the plastic jacking points. The just won't stay in place. I often use them a safety under other bits of the car. I also wrapped mine in rags to prevent scratching the underside of the car. I have seen people hacksaw off the sides of these though (the bits that stick up) to fit them into the jacking points of BMWs. Might be worth a try.

I use ones the same as those - just put a small block of wood between the axle stand and the jack point. I haven't had any problems.

I just use normal stands with mine.
My jacking points are already damaged so I don't worry about it 😂

I use these rubber axle stand covers on my axle stands.
