So I'm not really sure what section to put this thread in, but this seems most appropriate as it will be where my Car sleeps :). For those of you that don't know, I have an E46 M3 and here are a few pics to keep it relevant to the section:

And now for my garage build:

I had been lurking on the GarageJournal forums for some inspiration for quite some time, doing the research I needed, and finding the best solutions to my issues. I'd like to thank the forum for the wealth of information I've been able to get which helped me put together my dream garage!

So a little back story: We bought the house January of 2012 and since then, the garage has been one of my obsessions. This is what the garage started as:

Basically a large "L" shaped garage with semi finished walls large enough to park 2 cars in length. Here are the progress pictures:

And then it finally came together. This picture is just before putting the finishing touches on the flooring...

Like always, there's a bunch more left to do (just picked up a large painting to go up, some racking to complete, and an engine block table to make) that will all be done eventually.

Here is the finished product as of this morning!

I bought the flooring online from Costco and it came to about $1850 to do the flooring. As for the "brand" cant remember but if you look on the costco site, you'll find it.
