I have before picks of when the house was under construction, but not right before I did this.

Garage looks amazing though. Love your photography as always.

I can still fit both cars if needed. Just can't open the doors all the way.

truly awesome setup!!

I was inspired by a lot of garage threads here as well so glad I could help.

Yea they did good work. I was interested in doing wall cabinets, but realized most of my stuff are tools, chemicals, and car parts so I didn't want something made out of wood.

Yup. Nomad.

Sadly, I haven't been able to ride much since I moved.

Wow. Speechless. Perfect use of the space in every square-inch.

Very nice! I'm working on my 2 Car (x2) now! Floors already painted, custom shelving done. Work bench, addn storage, tool chest and various tools already purchased. Yours is definitely an inspiration!

BMWDEMON · 08-12-2013, 02:10 PM

great thread! inspiration from this angle has started!

Ryan@IND · 08-12-2013, 02:11 PM

AMAZING garage!

lsmkr01 · 08-12-2013, 02:36 PM

I've been a fan of your car for some time. Now I will add your garage to the list. Congrats on the new house and renovated garage space!

Beautiful! Just a heads up, if you want a more quiet compressor, you can look into rotary screw compressors. Much quieter.

Thanks for the tip. Did a quick search and they seem expensive and a bit large? I'm just looking for something under $500 and I'll probably only use it a couple times a month at most.

Sick floors.

thorny · 08-12-2013, 06:11 PM

you are a sick man!

I had done the same when I originally got my M3 (for a little bit less expense maybe). Bought a storage shed and removed every bit of clutter, painted everything myself and did epoxy shield on the floor. It was a two car garage, and I always wanted extra space since I shared the garage with my wife's X5, she is not too big on parking outside

When we moved to Houston 2 months ago, I was looking for that 3 car garage of my dreams, but unfortunatelly those houses were a little out of my price range, so settled again for the 2-car.. The house is being built on the lake lot, so there won't be any shed due to deed restrictions with the metal rod fences.. So I gotta figure something out for storage, but my plan is the same - to make the most out of the space I got. The garage of a real car enthusiast should look like his/her car!

A lot of respect for what you did.

sick garage!

FogCityM3 · 08-12-2013, 10:06 PM

Wow, beautiful. Not easy finding Bay Area garage space to begin with, but seems like you made the most of what you have!
