josepilove Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I am thinking about taking the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon this weekend in my e28. The last time I took a vehicle on the ferry it was a suburban, so I wasn't concerned with low-car obstacles. Has anyone brought their lowered car across? I'm not dumped, but probably only have about 4" of clearance. Any insights are much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 never drove a car onto it. doesnt look like its full of obstacles. there seems to be a slight bump between the dock and ship. maybe a phone call to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 My e90 on the sport suspension cleared with no issues and i remember seeig some a 964 and 993 on the same ferry that cleared no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I can tell you I took the Merimac ferry with my civic once. I got out and watched the ferry as it pulled in and watched other cars load up and everything looked fine. So I pulled into line to wait my turn. I got on the ferry just fine with very little maneuvering, life was great. Little did I know that it was the other side that was the issue. A 8" dip that most normal cars were scraping their bumpers was the obstacle. I folded my bumper in half deciding the only way to make it was "hitting it with speed" although it sounds worse than it was, I made it out alive and the bumper was undamaged. I will certainly think twice about doing that again. My civic and its ride height at the time for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Banana Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I took the Lake Express from Milwaukee to Muskegon about a month ago in my stock 2006 330i sport with a full trunk of luggage. I had a light high-center scrape underneath the car while getting off and on again in Muskegon. I pulled straight on--with a stock ride height car I assumed there wouldn't be a need for stancelyfe maneuvers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
