Who here is really into their garage?

LarThaL · 11-19-2011, 06:01 AM

When I was younger, after having a nice car, I always dreamed of having a really cool garage. Finally did it a couple of years ago and have kept "modding" my garages bit by bit ever since. I'm sure other M3 owners are into this too so I just wanted to share:

Here is my primary garage: cabinets are Gladiator Garage Works. Flooring is Race Deck Tile.

Here is the full current stable. Wife drives the A4 S-line (manual BTW

). Cayenne is my DD.

Here is our garage at our vacation home. Still a work in progress.

So who else out there is into their garage !!!!

wow looks awesome! I'm into it myself always wanted garage setup like that. aAlmost pulled trigger a few years back. But one of these days...Send me some info who did the garage setup THanks MASSACHUSETTS neighbor>

Do you have the plastic race deck tile? If so, how do you like it? I'm thinking of something very similar to your garage (already have the full set of gladiator cabinets) but the plastic sample tile that race deck sent me looks a bit cheap. Maybe once the whole floor is in it doesn't look as cheap as that single tile does in your hand.

Beautiful by the way!

M3 DCT · 11-19-2011, 06:37 AM

This looks fantastic!

SchnellM3 · 11-19-2011, 07:01 AM

Nice

CBS · 11-19-2011, 07:18 AM

OP: Very Nice, thanks for sharing!

I pulled the trigger 2 years ago and it looked nice for awhile but my Family and I have since cluttered it up. I'd be ashamed to send you a picture. My Spring project.

It is the plastic race deck tile. Looks very good IMO when fully laid out. There is going to be a tradeoff between durability and pure cosmetics. No, it isn't going to look a nice granite kitchen tile, but my garages do really get used, and the race deck is durable as hell and cleans up easily. If my garage was a showroom for a collection of exotics, it would be different, but it isn't.

Did the work myself. Race deck tile snaps together, and their website has a design template to help you design your pattern. Biggest problem really was disposing of all the packaging included with the cabinets. They pactically packed those things to survive a bomb blast !!!

GOLFFRR · 11-19-2011, 09:38 AM

thats a great set up. Im jealous!

Mr. ///M3 RD · 11-19-2011, 09:52 AM

VVG,

Looks like a fantastic garage, bet you spend a lot of time in it

and I don't blame you a bit.

Below is my working garage and my dream garage when I win the big 50 Million Lottery

I just know where to pick up them two fine automobiles, however, there will always be a ///M3 in that garage as well

Poofyo101 · 11-19-2011, 10:00 AM

Wow. Very nice garage.

DevJ · 11-19-2011, 10:19 AM

I'll be really into my new garage..when it's done being built! Where did you get your flooring? Racedeck? Your garage looks awesome!

-=Hot|Ice=- · 11-19-2011, 10:21 AM

I want that garage.

Stormtroooper · 11-19-2011, 10:52 AM

I don't really want to dump money into the current garage since we don't plan on staying in it. Yes, i own the house, but down plan to in the next 3-4 years. So I'm just going to wait till I purchase my forever home.

PhillyNate · 11-19-2011, 11:09 AM

My garage is nearly too small to get my M3 "into it."

zhp2m3 · 11-19-2011, 11:39 AM

Damn...

I was just going to put some cement floor sealer in my garage and thought that would be cool. Nevermind...

SNOOPY11 · 11-19-2011, 12:01 PM

There used to be a beautiful RS 4 in the middle...

Never get bored of looking at your garage and contents, Vij!

Will be doing something similar for the 1M/RS stable..

Bigiggs · 11-19-2011, 01:42 PM

This is a beautiful garage!!!

Congratulations! Very well done.

As a matter of fact, I prefer this garage to the one previously mentioned above.
