Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Thetastelingers, They are 18" staggered repos from Velocity Motoring that I use almost exclusively for street driving. The OEM E46 CSL wheels were only made in a 19" size, and I have several sets of...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish atvmech, ya. I drew what I wanted to build - and then built what I drew. The drawings just served as my mental reminder along the way, and helped other people, like my contractor, see the picture in my head...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish KevDawg, Relatively new, so it's only got a month or so of frequent active use, and so far - I'm really happy. Glad I added the anti slip, I would recomend it if you do your project. It went down easily, I...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Mussel Kar, Thanks for the link. Arggg. Love the sound of your GT3, most notable at the start - and hate hearing it right about now. (I won't hear that from my car for a very long time - it just started...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Mussel Kar, I spend most of my time at road courses, but still AutoCross both the cars. Neither are at the very top of their class, (the E46M3 weighs in at around 3,400lbs) but I do it for the fun, and the car...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Construction begins: ...utilities get run from the main house (gas, electric, phone, cable, and sewer tie-in) and 5' deep trenches are cut for the footers reflecting the barn's foundation footprint... I...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Working with my architect: I did an elevation drawing of each side of the outside of the garage to scale, and three of the interior "back garage" wall elevations, spec-ed all the fixtures, doors, sinks, door...
