Gotta say, you have GREAT TASTE in both cars & colors ... - I say this because I drive Bimmers too (great cars those things) and all of them are in some shade of black (great colors)

Well done mate!

Here are some info I know...

2012 house in Irving, CA. 2-cars - 20' wide insides. 1 garage door.
1950 house in NYC. 2-cars - 18' wide insides. 1 door.
1910 house in Seattle. 2-cars - 16' wide insides. 1 door.
1996 house in Vancouver, BC. 3-cars - 36' wide insides. 3-doors.

You're surprised metropolitan houses don't have huge, wide garages? Check the suburbs and rural areas and you will find the elbow room you seek

And.... Vancouver is not in the US . I know you said "American" which I suppose could mean "North American," but I don't think I've heard many Canadians refer to themselves as "American" lol.

Thought I would update my original thread.

My 2015 Jet Black, Black Dakota xLine has moved on to some other lucky owner. I did not do much to mod the car (not my thing and was leasing), but I did add the MPPK and the RaceChip Ultimate. It was my first SUV and it was a blast.

My lease is up in March 2018 and I had the same dilemma as many others:

1. Should I extent my lease until I could get my hands on a G05.
2. Should I take a look at the bigger wheel base X3 M40i that is supposed to be available in mass 1Q2018.
3. Try to find a great deal on MY2017.
4. Get one of the last F15s - MY2018.

The dealers seem to be under pressure to move existing stock of X5s. The incentives are off the charts so......

I went ahead last night and moved to a MY2018 F15. The new machine:

Pictures to come tomorrow. I finally got the free cargo net in the back hatch area. Carbon Black is awesome.....Black during the night and Batmobile Blue during the day.

I assume that I can put my RaceChip Ultimate in this machine. So far I am not sure if I need the MPPK that installed in my MY2015. This car seem much faster than my MY2015 xLine. I would love to hear thoughts on this......
