Not enough clearance to use Rhino Ramps.
Was thinking about fabricating some sort of "step" board to get enough height for the ramps or just using two hydraulic floor jacks.
I'd appreciate any input from someone who has already done this.

I used a piece of 2x10x14 lumber to add 1.5-inch ground clearance. I had the older gray Rhino Ramps.
Works well for my E60 Sport and E90 Sport.

There's a jacking point under the engine (you should see a black flat rectangular jack pad) Maybe you can jack up from there then slide your ramps under the wheels.

Thanks for the responses - the pics of the wooden boards was exactly what I had in mind.
