Default car ramps

as our cars are low i was looking for a set of car ramps that would work without spending $250 for the ones that say "for low cars". my 07 550i and my wife's audi a6 do sit low but does anyone know of a set of ramps i could buy without breaking the bank??

I went ahead and sprang for the Race Ramps ("The best way to get it up"). Expensive, but they work perfectly. And light enough to hang on the garage wall.

Or, you want to spend a couple of grand or so, you can get something like this.

i saw these and though our cars would be to low for them? this seems to be the best way to go if they work?

ya i'm not looking to spend a couple hundred bucks for a set of ramps. there are a ton of ramps for $150+ but i really didn't want to spend that much

I also use the Rhino Ramps to change oil for my ride, it works great.

I have sports package and a front lip spoiler and sure i have to wedge the ramps to tires by hand and it does scrape a little when driving up but not enough to cause damage. A regular E60 or even a sport without a lip would be perfectly fine.
