A new home for my M3 and 328

MachinesWithSouls · 09-26-2015, 11:14 PM

Hey all. Thought I would share some images of my redone garage, which houses my M3 and F30 328.

First, the before:

I hate clutter, and enjoy working on the cars, so better lighting and more space was vital. It being a townhouse, I don't have the room for anything to fancy, but still thought a nicer space for my cars was in order. So I:

Painted the walls and ceiling
Epoxy-coated the floor with blue, black, and white flecks.
Added vintage style garage lights with white LED bulbs over each car
Added artwork for each car

While not the palace many guys might have, it will definitely be a lot nicer to work on the cars and just enjoy the space.

Fellow M3 owners always welcome over for wrenching help or a beer :-)

Longboarder · 09-26-2015, 11:58 PM

Nicely done.

Helmsman · 09-27-2015, 02:23 AM

If I only had my own garage...Looks great man!

GRUESOM3 · 09-27-2015, 05:12 AM

Awesome garage, looks like you have so much head room in that place you can easily get a lift in there or one of those storage car lifts

buddalun · 09-27-2015, 10:47 AM

Great work OP! Garage time is good time.

Garage door would be in the way. I wish...

From what I understand you need 10 feet height. Garage door gets repositioned near ceiling level and uses a wall mounted opener.

Flying Ace · 09-28-2015, 12:48 AM

New garages gets me very excited.

I can barely fit 1 car in my garage, let alone 2

Jsantos · 09-28-2015, 08:48 AM

Great work and choice of colors!

delirium330 · 09-28-2015, 11:54 AM

Nice work. Where did you get that engine picture? I think I saw another thread with the full resolution stock photo of the S65, but would be easier to just get a nice printed picture if possible.

Yoddha · 09-28-2015, 02:31 PM

Glad I'm not the only one that uses AMMO products to clean my car. By far the best cleaning solution on the market...Congratulations on the new setup, it looks great!

B8bydesign · 09-28-2015, 02:59 PM

Looks really good man, always nice to have a clean and comfortable place to work on the car in.

p-lethal · 09-28-2015, 03:03 PM

even the garbage can is blue...well played !

X5-User · 09-28-2015, 03:37 PM

Wow..amazing work man...I would sleep in this garage

I've met Larry before. His stuff is amazing, and I wouldn't use anything else at this point.

Thanks! I have a high-res version of it. Can send it if you'd like.

That would be excellent, thanks. I'll PM you my email address. Did you just get the high-res picture printed at like a Shutterfly or something?
