M2 ground clearance
M2 ground clearance: 123mm (stock).
Wasn't sure whether to go down this rather steep cookie. Considered it feasible with my stock ride height, so decided to give it a go at very slow pace. Result: passed without any contact at all, up and down (with diagonal approach, as well as with head-on approach). But you gotta move slowly, especially when climbing (very close call).

Wow that's a pretty close call for stock height. I can't imagine going up that if the car was lowered.

Out of interest: did you measure the angle of that slope?
Also: did you check how much room you had with the bottom mid of your car vs. the crest when just getting on/off the ramp and half of the car is on it/off it? |

But I repeat: stock ride height - stock suspension - no passenger. No drop for my car, especially to handle circumstances like these.

Raising the 5mm eliminated the scraping altogether?

A Camry would probably just make that as well!! Lol. Mine is on HAS - that would have scrapped at that 90degree approach..
Looks pretty daunting there! Having had lowered cars for decades, it's become second nature to always approach such steep slope on and off at an angle on approach and slowly as well as not park head in at all. I mean I can instinctively feel it. Obviously less worried with a Camry etc more so on M's, msport suspensions and m kit.
