I had to choose between lake and gobs of garage space. I chose lake.

It was probably the right call given that I don't really work on my cars, but I do sometimes question what I was thinking.

drive the car onto a raft and work on it in snorkel gear

If you're going to buy a new one, you should definitely get 32-34-8-022-400. You get to pick any 2 leather colors and 1 stitching color from anything in the BMW Individual palette. And it is only $1365.



If anyone is actually crazy enough to do this, drop me a PM and I'll explain how to get around the "must be a replacement for the same part already on the car" restriction on Individual parts.

I'm very deliberate and careful with my purchases.
