Garage driveway too steep?

Hello. 12 degree angle is correct and 5 m length of the driveway. Thank you and best regards

Hello,

That depends on several factors. A BMW usually has a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and a rather low front end. What will the driveway be like? Flat road, 12-degree incline, flat garage? Incline from road to garage? How wide?

If the driveway is wide and slopes towards the house, you will have it much easier, as you will have significantly fewer problems if you drive over it at a slight angle... Please provide details

Also keep in mind that the ground clearance tends to decrease.

Regards

At 12 degrees! slope and 5m driveway, that is a 1.04m height difference. That makes about 21% gradient. (21cm per 1m)

5 Series BMW has a 3.10m wheelbase. That means the maximum height difference should be 1.55m. With a uniform gradient, you therefore need 33cm ground clearance in the loaded state.

Have fun.

I forgot something. Maybe you can first drive down at a 90° angle to the garage and then turn in the right direction in front of the garage at the bottom.
