Best Ramps?

I see some folks use Rhino ramps, so I assume that a 135i with stock ride height can get up these without any rubbing. Are those the 'go-to' brand, or are there any others out there that won't rub and get the car high enough to do most normal maintenance activity?

I have Race Ramps. Quality stuff -- lightweight and they do not slip. They clear my (slightly) lowered car.

You can get them from Reverse Logic since they have 10% off + free shipping.

I use these ones, they are enough to let me get the jack to the front jacking point.

I have rhinos. Great ramps but they tend to slide a bit so they just need to be placed about a foot back if clearance is an issue.

Makes oil changes and jacking up the front a breeze

+1 on Race Ramps. I have the trailer extension ramps, so not ideal for working on the car, but it certainly would help with getting the front end high enough to clear a standard size floor jack.
