Still a work in progress, but the Z calls it home.

Work in progress ?? What's left to do? Clean the floor ? I think I could eat of it right now! Great looking space!

Wow randy you may help me talk my wife into another car. I don't have a pic of the z3 in the garage but I have this one showing the garage they all 3 go in I took some pics together when I first got the Z.

Ok wrong pic that is the pic inside the garage. I will get one with all three inside.

I've been warned not to use a cover over a car with a ragtop on it, trapping the moisture engenders mold on the cover. Is that true for the Z3's cover as well? Is it actually "cloth"?

I haven't worried about mold on the soft top because I have a hardtop that pretty rarely comes off. That said, my cover is a "Noah". The fabric is breathable. Repels moisture but doesn't trap it.

Randy, how high is the ceiling in your garage? I want to add a lift but space is tight and your garage looks similar to mine.

Her winter home. Just before connecting battery tender and putting cover on.

I'll have to get some pics. I hate to admit I have a 3 car garage that normally doesn't hold any cars. That changed when I picked up the Z3 earlier this month. 1 of the 3 bays got cleaned for it.

Tight squeeze

[BimmerBreaker]

New place, plenty of garage space here... can probably squeeze a third Z3 in the garage if I could park it sideways...

[eluther3z3]

They said this garage was for storage and wasn't big enough for a car. They were wrong!

The car cover world has advanced quite a bit since the days of heavy canvas-like covers that take days to dry off.

I haven't worried about mold on the soft top because I have a hardtop that pretty rarely comes off. That said, my cover is a "Noah". The fabric is breathable. Repels moisture but doesn't trap it.

I've been using a Covercraft Weathershield HP cover for many years (5.5). Light rain rolls off it. Heavy rain eventually soaks it, but it dries off super fast. It's not unusual for me to take it off after a prolonged heavy rain, shake it off, reinstall it, & for it to be dry in 20 minutes.

Tight squeeze

Umm... How do you get into the cars to back them out??

[ljpviper]

On the left there's a lot of room, just pull one car out first.

[Shoe Coupe]

Here's mine!

Actually its a 3 car garage (3rd spot not pictured) but the m3 lives in the 3rd spot. The ceiling on the 3rd spot goes up pretty high, so eventually I'm going to put a 4 post lift in and store both ///M's there.

man I'm jealous of all you guys and your garages.....and houses......and regular jobs....

[Rabbi Doom]

Very nice! I like your style sir! What is that underneath the PY coupe? It might just be the angle but I don't recognize the rear window shape being Porsche even though my gut tells me Porsche.

My MCoupe stays at my business. It's usually messy but it works for keeping shop/business separate from home. We can just leave it messy and clean up later without worrying about it because we don't have employees or customers wandering in uninvited.

I need to make it out there!!

[moupe54]

very jealous of all the space you all have. as one of the youngest coupe owners...still living at home with no garage space. car sits outside under a cover

[OnlyZ3]

Nothing compared to you guys...but last year I bought a house and built my garage myself, hence I am very proud of it!!
Been dreaming about a garage for years... I live in Europe and the space here is counted, used to live in an apartment and had to park my daily in the street (didn't have a Z by then).

Problem solved!!

Don't worry, I had my first Z3 hen I was 21, now i'm 31, have had 9 Z's and now have my own garage. Everything comes with time and work.

Looks like a new cayman.

Not my garage, but it's where most of the car work gets done.

She is one of the newer additions but it seems she is right at home.

not my garage...but it's probably the best place to find yourself a M Coupe in Maryland

Yes. 981 Cayman. It's about as angular or a Porsche as I can stand. Any more so it's it'd be like Porsche went the Chris Bangle route.
