Nice garage man. You sure like green a lot & everything looks well done. I want to see more of the BG LCI X3 M40i though. Soon I'm thinking of upgrading my DD soon to one just like yours.

Should get a Java Green X5.

Looks great. Did you come up with that design or get help?

Thank you. I got a lot of inspiration from the Average Middle Class Garage Goals FB page, but I designed it all and did all the work on my own. I had never done a project like this in the past, so it was a great learning experience for me.

Ha - I appreciate it! I had always wanted a green Viper and although most people called me crazy, I replaced a 2016 ACR-E for my 2014 Stryker Green car. Then the green thing just stuck.

I'm a fake (well, my wife is). We test drove the M40i and she had no desire to have the extra power, so we get her an xDrive. I added the shadowline grill, front lip, 22" BC Forged wheels, debadged it, and painted the exhaust tips black.

I'd love to do a Java Green or IOMG X5M in the future. I see you have a Java Green on order - excellent choice!

I keep forgetting to update it on here but it’s no longer on order. The photo I posted is mine.

Absolutely loving the color!

My tiny German garage - but better than what I had before - nothing!

Tucked away after it had a fresh wash.

We got an epoxy floor last October. It’s awesome.

Hate that I live where it snows like crazy and we can't have a freaking nice/clean garage for more than half the year.

In contrast with the summer when things are so much nicer/cleaner.

CC M3C X · 03-21-2024, 04:25 PM

Have you tried containment mats? I have them in a few of the garages during winter. Floor stays clean/dry. I just drag it out and poor it off (or Squeegee it off) then drag it back in. Works well.

ksa · 03-21-2024, 04:36 PM

I thought about getting them right after getting the garage epoxy'ed last year - will need 3 for 3 spots but then never ended up getting them. Might try them out next winter. Does seem like they will help, though kinda annoying as they will hide majority of the garage flooring underneath.

That’s a fair point. They are not the most attractive thing.

High Octane · 03-22-2024, 06:53 PM

Not the best picture, but pretty happy with the garage currently. Will need to organize a bit more when the weather finally turns.

BSMG82M4 · 03-27-2024, 06:44 AM

Finished the floor now need to do the walls.
