Help with ramps for 330i sport package!

OnceAudi · 11-24-2008, 02:11 PM

Well, i tried changing my oil this past weekend with no luck. I had purchased these Rhino ramps and had been using them for years with my previous cars with no problems. I tried pulling up slowly with my 2006 330i and the front lower lip will not clear. Does anyone else have the same problem? Are there any ramps that are recommended?

Get a couple of 1" thick boards, and lay them infront of the ramps.

OnceAudi · 11-24-2008, 02:29 PM

Ok so just lay them right in front of the ramps before going up? Flush with the bottom of the ramp?

I have the same problem sort of... my solution was to find a place on my drive way where pavement curves down a bit so that the approach angle of the car to the ramp will clear away the bumper.

Or place rubber mats under the ramps.

Or jack up the car and put the ramps under the wheels.

I bought 2x12" boards for subfloor joists at Home Depot, and cut into pieces of different lengths and nailed together to form a low profile ramps
