OK, getting BBS alloys re-furbed, and want to get all 4 done at once, so need to have car on blocks. WHERE do I best position the blocks (concrete or wood) front & back, so the car is safely parked ?? Will be in garage, is auto 320i cab. AND, is local BMW garage easiest option for new centre badges for the wheels ? Thanks.

At the front, i would rest the car on the "Chassis runners".

The rear i would rest on the fixing for the rear subframe.

Amazing link, thanks aus325, and MartinAston, thanks, but I'll try & get mine off - car can be left for a few days in secure garage - by the way, great pics in earlier link. Regards, Tony
