M4 ZCP Front Bumper Ground Clearance?

titan7 · 01-22-2018, 08:48 PM

Hey I have one on order for my wife, can anybody save me a trip to the dealer and tell me how many inches of clearance there is from the ground to the lowest part of the from end. Just want to make sure I will not have an issue getting in the driveway. She has a 235vert and as long as she is slow no scraping. Thank you!

It's not just the front bumper-to-ground clearance you have to worry about. The distance of the lowest point of the front bumper to the front wheels also plays a big part in clearing steep inclines/declines.

Do you plan on canceling the order if its too low? Or maybe pouring some concrete? J/K

Well my 911 gets in coming at a 45 degree angle with no issue (well one wheel does come off the ground for a second) so I can’t believe the M4 will have an issue but I will measure everything out. My wife is actually pretty OCD with her cars and I have trained her pretty well about how careful she has to be driving this car in and out of drive ways.

Actually I am more concerned about her not realizing how quickly she can have the backend of this car break loose and get her into trouble. I am sending her to M driving school to help insure she can handle that situation but I am still a bit concerned.

Edit, yikes, I just measured her m235i, just a little more than 6” At the center, a bit less on the sides of the front bumper where it drops a little. That will be tight, will need to look closer at this as I also measured the 911, it’s right at 6” but as you mentioned there is a lot of car in front of the front wheels which is why I have to do the 45 degree angle in my car.

Post pics of your driveway. That’s insane to need 6” of clearance in addition to having to drive at and angle.
