Parking outside...

YEP, outside and on the street 40% of the time. Thats a big reason I will get Alpine white.

Im trying to figure out how to build a car port at the end of the driveway to keep the car nice and safe. Something with a sturdy roof and solid sides but completely open front and back. If I get the car before anything is built then a big blue tarp is hanging between my house and the neighboors house, ghetto style but will keep the bird crap and leaves off the car in the meantime.

I am doing Alpine White too! My CA said that he used to have a 318ti in that color and it pretty much washed itself in the rain... :wink:

I have had 2 white cars and its 99.9% easier then black to keep clean. With white if you are in a hurry or just want to get some mud off the car, a quick wash is 5 minutes, no real need to dry, no spots, just dry the windows and coat the tires w/Meguiars Tire Gel.

With black, you have to wash in the shade, dry with micro fiber towels, and then once you drive it, the water comes out from trim, etc. and spots allover. WHITE is JOY.

Hell no - I currently live in an apt and street park, but when the 1er comes I'll pony up the extra $150/mo to keep it protected from weather and horrible drivers/parkers.
