Car ramps

You may still need to drive on to a couple of flat bits of wood first, if on a lowered sport.
This is a bit cheaper for 2, but still not sure they are worth that much...

OK, so next easy job you need ramps for, go get a quote from your local dealer to do it.
Show it to the wife and she'll probably hold the car up herself! :D

I was just reading through the posts on the Forum when I came across this Martin. I have a ride on mower with a deck at the front. It is really difficult to clean underneath and these ramps will solve the problem. So ordered a pair. Thanks Martin. This Forum is so useful. Not just for Z4s.👍😀

Will these take a lowered Zed do we think?

No, not straightforward.
I have to run the front wheels up on a couple of planks to clear the front spoiler on a standard car.
Tbh, I'm not sure exactly what you could use?
You can get ramps with a low approach angle, but they only lift the car half as far.
 
Ramps should be extremely Robust and strong to insure whoever is under the car is protected.
I was witness recently to a fatality when the car was not raised on Axle stands but bricks.
Please Guys your life is more precious than cheap or home made contraptions.
My pennies worth .😞

I've got these, the 2 piece ones...so that you can remove the sloped part when the car is up to give you more room to work without the ramps in the way.

I don't recall that they cost as much as they do now when I bough them 2 years ago but maybe they did..??

Whatever, they are excellent ramps no clearance issues when driving up on them and they are very light to move and store.
