BMW Support Lifting Platform - Genuine BMW 51717042974

Product Information

A jack pad is a small, durable component designed to protect a vehicle’s undercarriage when using a jack to lift it. Typically made of rubber or hardened plastic, jack pads are placed between the vehicle’s jack point and the jack itself, helping to prevent damage to the frame, rocker panels, and other sensitive areas during lifting.

• Visible Cracks or Wear: Over time, jack pads may develop cracks, splits, or wear, especially if frequently used or exposed to rough surfaces. Visible damage can compromise their ability to support the vehicle properly
• Compression or Flattening: A worn jack pad may become compressed or flattened, reducing its effectiveness in protecting the vehicle’s jack points and absorbing pressure during lifting

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
