Model Year: 2010
My Rhino ramps work for my E60 M-Sport and E90 Sport (lowered suspension on both). I supplement the ramps with two pieces of 2x10 wood, 14 inch long, 45-degree cut. The wood by itself allows me to fit the floor jack and the ECS Tuning jack pad under the front for winter wheel swap. The rear wheels do not require any wood for floor jack clearance.
The ramps/wood will slide with any front wheels that are not driven if the brakes are on. Just line up ramps on front wheels and drive forward onto ramps using only throttle and no brakes.

i have them, and they definitely slide everywhere. I was not able to use them when i purchased them, but i will say that they would probably work on a less slippery surface.
after reading this thread i'm going to give them another shot.

Here ya go ... I made a pair of them from 2x8 lumber, cut ends at an angle and bolted them together. Just dragged one out of the garage but it should provide an ideal of what I use to raise my car a few inches to permit room underneath for basic oil change stuff. The underside has squiggly lines of silicone sealer to help prevent slipping when I drive up on them.
