I have one of the BMS jack pad adapters, and it is a nicely made solid piece. But, I find that I rarely use it. Mine is black, and I found it hard to line up because I couldn't see it well. I have some cheaper hard nylon jack pads that are a light grey. The nylon is much stiffer and more durable than the cheap rubber adapters. Work just as well as my fancy black BMS jack pad, and I can see them. Sadly, I can't find them on Amazon anymore to provide a link.
I also don't bother with the jack pads when using my Esco flat top jack stands. The pads add a fiddly step to line them up perfectly. I just let the plastic jack sockets on the car rest on the rubber pads on the Esco jack stands. There has been no noticeable impact on the jack sockets. And I figure if the BMW dealership is just using flat rubber pads on their lifts, it will work fine on my jack stands.
