ᐅ Is the driveway to the garage too steep?

Hello. A 12-degree angle is correct and a driveway length of 5 m (16 feet) is needed. Thank you and good luck.

Hello,

That depends on several factors.
A BMW typically has a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and a relatively low front end.
What will the driveway be like? Flat street, 12-degree slope, flat garage? Slope between street and garage? How wide is it?

If the driveway is wide and slopes down toward the house, it will be much easier for you, since you will have fewer issues driving over it at a slight angle...
Please provide details.

Also keep in mind that ground clearance tends to be rather low.

Regards

At a 12-degree slope and a 5m (16 feet) driveway, the height difference is 1.04m (3.4 feet).
That corresponds to roughly a 21% gradient (21cm (8 inches) per 1m (3.3 feet)).

A 5-series BMW has a wheelbase of 3.10m (10.2 feet), so the maximum height difference should be around 1.55m (5.1 feet).
With a consistent slope, you will therefore need 33cm (13 inches) of ground clearance when the vehicle is loaded.

Have fun.

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