S Scott94 Member May 12, 2020 #1 Hi All, This has probably been asked a million times. Looking at buying some ramps do try my hand at some light maintenance (oil change etc). What ramps are OK for the e85 Z4? - low profile but still raises enough to get under. Thanks, Scott

mmm-five Lifer Liverpool Site Supporter May 12, 2020 #2 You can get long ramps that reduce the incline angle for lower cars, or you can get ones you drive onto and then jack/pump up. For example (obviously not recommending these specifically): https://www.raceramps.co.uk/service-ramps https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/laser-tools-low-rise-car-ramps-t-clas5669 https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/b-g-racing-mid-rise-vehicle-ramps-bgr226/ Might depend on what space you have. We were going to install/dig an inspection pit when we rebuilt the garage, but the waste pipe was where it shouldn't have been and scuppered that plan.
