 You might not want to watch TV, but having a sat receiver in the garage 
just for the music channels is great.

Warm enough climate (Washington, DC) that I figured I could use space heating for 
those bitter cold times that I *need* to be working on the car.  I don't anticipate 
spending long winter days renovating cars, though I should anticipate a future owner 
with that interest.

Thanks for the nudge.  I'll at least research it.

I don't disagree with Gary's point that heating a
garage slab is a full time business - so is heating a
home.  The counterpoint is that once warm, it also
retains heat well, so keeping it warm shouldn't be too
costly.  Radiant heat is highly efficient.  As an
aside, I'm not suggesting that you keep it so warm
that you need to disrobe before you go into the garage
in February.  60-ish is fine, and could be
accomplished with a relatively low water temp, I would
think.  

Also, remember that this is not just an extravagance
for working on cars in the winter, but a practical,
comfortable add-on.  When you park your car overnight,
you'll know that it will be snow and ice-free come
morning.  It also helps save batteries, etc., from
freezing overnights.

Two more things - make sure the structure is amply
insulated, both floor and wall.  I think Fine
Homebuilding has published some stuff on how to
appropriately do a heated slab floor.  Also, get a
good floor paint or tile down, like from Griot's
Garage.

cars last a lot longer (rust-wise) if you keep them frozen all winter.. it
sure is nice to get into a warm car on those really cold mornings, but the
freeze/thaw they go through every night accelerates the rusting process a
huge amount

it can also mask a dying battery.. starts right up in the warm garage.. is
completely dead after sitting frozen all day in the parking lot at work..
much more convenient to be stuck at home!

plus, babying a car just teaches it to be soft :)

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello,

Friend has a new to him 2000 328i with Sport package and 17" wheels.  He's
looking for used winter wheels to save his summers and not have to change
tires back and forth.  He's willing to go smaller than 17's if they'll fit
over his rotors.  I'm not certain of fitments for E46, so any advice is
appreciated.  He definitely intends to stick with stock offsets.

He's planning to spec. out his own tires, but would entertain somebody who's
got a complete package if it has low miles.

Feel free to e-mail Dennis directly at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So it is possible to just add steel plating to distribute the load?

There are special test guns that fire a probe into
concrete to test its strength.  Drill holes to
determine the thickness.  The typical house has onl 4
inches, maybe less in places, not enough for a 2 post
without some reinforcement plates on the surface.

I went with a "conventional" heating system - standard gas furnace mounted 
in the attic (about 69,000 btu) with six supply ducts distributed around 
the garage with outlets about two feet off the floor, and one return duct 
in the center of the ceiling.  And lots of insulation - 2x6 side wall 
construction, R-30 or better in the ceiling, insulated doors, minimal 
windows.  The thermostat is normally set at 40 degrees so the water lines 
don't freeze, and it will heat up to 60 or 70 in about 15 minutes.  With 
the insulation, thermal mass of the floor, and minimal windows it also 
stays relatively cool in summer.

Following advice from Steve D's site, I installed awning type windows about 
10 feet off the floor.  This is good for security, leaves lots of wall 
space for cabinets and storage, and since the windows are "under" the roof 
overhangs, I can leave them open all summer for ventilation.

If you want hot water and are any distance from your hot water source, 
consider a small tankless water heater.  They're adequate for the few times 
you need hot water, and don't waste energy when not being used.

Yes, an M5 and a Z8.

Oh sorry, those kinds of items.  Work bench - one big and strong enough for
you to put an engine up there and not worry about it collapsing.  Storage
for every tool and spare part you can possibly conceive of ever owning.  A
220 volt line for a future lift.  Another 220 volt line for the air
compressor.  Hey, you don't want some wimpy 110 volt compressor, you want
to really be able to MOVE SOME AIR!  A gas line (assuming you have incoming
natural gas or propane) for one of those heaters that you mount up on the
wall.  A wall air conditioner (and another 220 volt line for that).

A whole gaggle of 110 volt outlets about every 10 feet on the walls, and a
few more on the ceiling for drop lights.  Wait, 17 feet is too high - run a
beam from front to back between each set of bays and mount drop lights,
etc., on the beams.  A media center for the TV and stereo, so you can watch
the F1 races complete with surround sound.  Cable TV wiring to the media
center.  A place for a parts washer.

On a recent road trip, my seat control became 1/2 functional.  I found
myself able to move the seat back down, but not up.  The motor still makes
noise when the switch is pressed up, but no movement.  In the meantime, I'm
driving about in a slightly more reclined position than normal... In Las
Vegas, that's more common, but not necessarily comfy.  Any advice for repair
/ replacement?  For those with parts to sell, it's a dove grey leather E36 4

Even a 225/55 may rub the front strut towers.  I did a more detailed writeup of my 
experiences with E38 wheels for the the bmwe34.net site, but the bottom line is: Some 
225/55s rub on some E34s, and some don't.

I ran both into my garage....  Of course, as it's 1200sqft, it will probably end
up as a mother-in-law suite now, so it was a smart choice....
