Race Ramps 2-piece 56"

Anyone have any experience with these ramps? Plan to use them to put my exhaust on, and for oil changes, etc. Any clearance issues with the stock ZCP height?

I have used a set on 2-piece Race Ramps with my E90 ZCP with no issues. They have been great. I did get a QuickJack now and will be selling my ramps (and some other stuff) soon.

I’ve used the ramps with a couple of other RaceRamps products (e.g., wheel cribs) to do all my maintenance.

I use the single piece 56" race ramps with my 2012 E93 M3 - no clearance issues at all, even some clearance room to spare. Highly recommended - the quality is great.

probably. they only issue i run into is when i try to drive onto the ramps when they are in front... my gt4 lip hits them. if you're backing up, you should be fine.

I have this RR-56 and my E92 Competition (EDC) is bone stock. Not sure how you guys go up without a tiny tiny rub but these RR-56 rubbed a tad bit on the bottom black part.

To be safe, I’d suggest getting the RR extender

Will standard Rhino ramps work on a stock e90 zcp? I plan to change my oil DIY for the first time and have a set.

Thanks.

Highly doubt it. Approach angle on them is way too steep.

I use the standard rhino ramps purchased from AAP. I don't have ZCP, and it's hard to judge while I'm in the car, but the 10mm difference in ride height shouldn't be a problem. I've driven forward and reversed onto them to do oil changes, change the skid plate, and do exhaust work. I've also just used them after raising the car on jacks, but that method obviously doesn't have clearance concerns.

Thread revival time. I'm looking at race ramps (wanted quickjack but not feasible at the moment), my e90 m3 will be lowered on eibachs. There's a 46, 56 and 67 set. What's the most common one used for our cars? I'd mainly use it for oil changes and occasionally just spray snow foam or Apc on the undercarriage and rinse it off.
