I bought a rhino ramp a while back to change my oil, but now i recently changed my bumper to an m5 style front.

Since my bumper doesn't have much clearance compared to the OEM stock bumper, what do you guys recommend? I really don't wanna jack the car up to change the oil.

I use a piece of 2x10 lumber to add 1.5-inch ground clearance. Cut at 45-degree angle.


The wood ramps are used with my Rhino ramps or with my floor jack.

I have the similar setup too for my 530i with the rhino ramps.

I just tried this with the same setup and my bumper doesn't look like it will clear the end of the rhino ramp. Anyone have this same problem with the m5 bumper?

did you try, or are you afraid to? have someone watch while you drive up.

me, i just use a floor jack on the lifting pad under the engine. if you do end up getting a jack, get one with a long reach and low profile. the cheap ones wont work.

i beleive somebody also makes ramps for low profile cars.

I made it onto the ramp about 4 inches before i decided it was a no go. i might just try again w/ some help just to be sure...
