Driving an E-46 up Rino Ramps

A question for those of you who change your oil and use Rino Ramps for easy oil change access.

How difficult is it to drive the car (manual) up the ramps? Do they slide or stay put? Any tips for my first try at this?


Thanks in advance

I've driven a few E46's and an Z3 up my Rhino ramps, they're pretty easy to slide. One trick is to force the ramps under the wheels a little before driving the car up... there are stoppers under the ramp to prevent sliding, but you have to force the ramps under your wheels a little for the stoppers to work. (u need some downward force)

Yup, exactly what I do.

The first time, it is very scary to drive up the rhino ramps because of the fear of going over. ALthough I never had this problem, I actually put a set of spare tires behind the ramps. This way, if you ever go "over", your car will land on the spares, as supposed to the garage floor and risk damage to the car's underbody.

BTW, your full size spare should level off the rhino ramps pretty well too.
