That's awesome! Congrats on an excellent setup. This is strange, but I have a friend up here in MA that has a twin to your BMW and has a very similar lift in his garage. He is our chief tech inspector at the autocross events for the Boston Chapter.

Very nice/efficient. I have the same epoxy flooring in my garage. Same color/sprinkles as well. It's holding up well after a year and a half now. Where did you get/order the lift from?

Sure I will take pics but i don't think there will be any ever. I did 3 months of research on lifts to find one that is not only safe but has built in safety system too. And was not carzy expensive. I must of hit about 10 diff forums asking curent owners of the lift I have, and not one said they had any problems with it. Just make sure you do your maintenance.

Did you use the optional clear coat on your epoxy floor? I used the same epoxy with the decorative specs, but after two years, it began peeling up where it is driven over. I imagine the clear coat would have sealed it up nicely.

No clear coat but i did do about 2 days worth of prep. Power washed it twice and sanded the concrete. I also used to coats of the epoxy and the first didn't cover very well. I have had it now 3 months no problems so far.

Yeah, I did a lot of prep work as well. I probably should have applied two coats.

I chose the 4 post for many reasons but the main 2 reasons are you don't have to bolt it in, its free standing and it’s a storage lift which is my main purpose for the winter months. I did buy jacks so I can lift the car off the ramps to work on wheels and brakes. So it’s a full working lift like a 2 post.
