My 640xi GC Dilemma

LarrySinNJ · 07-26-2016, 07:07 PM

I can get a very good deal on a 2016 640xi GC M Sport Edition. The problem is that my driveway has a slope to it, and when I tried backing the car in the front air dam scrapes the pavement.

Any suggestions??

This cant be a serious question surely

Surely it is a valid question. I have a short driveway that has a pretty decent slope. The deal on the 640 is quite good since it's an executive car with 7k miles on it. Would love to have it, though I don't want to scrape the bottom every time I come in and out of the driveway.

Alter your driveway to reduce the slope?

Park on the street?

Get Wooden Planks. My boy has an R8 and the car sits so low that when he has to enter his driveway he has wood planks. He said he will replace in with metal ones. he has to get them made.

Come into the driveway at an angle. I have the same issue.
