Help! F83 M4 Parking Width

I'm so excited, I just bought a 2018 M4 Competition Convertible, and I'm planning to park it in a private garage near my apartment in San Francisco. The garage I'm look to rent has about 97/98 inches width at the widest point.

Any F82/F83 owners know the minimum width required to open the door and get into the car? Do you think this garage is wide enough?

Thanks for any help!

If you have exec package maybe you use the 360° cameras to park super close on passenger side to buy yourself a couple inches.

What color is your new ride? I’ll keep an eye out for you around the city 🤙

Congrats!

It does! Thanks so much, it’s Alpine White! Do you also have a similar model? If you’re in the city, any chance you’d be willing to meet me in the Castro for a width check?

97 inches is barely 8 ft wide. I have a 10 ft wide garage and it has barely enough room to open the door to the 1st detent.

The F83 at the mirrors measures 79 inches. By placing it 2 inches from the wall you will have 16/17 inches left if the widest point coincides with the doors... very difficult because the two-door version has larger doors.

Thanks everyone, decided to pass on this particular garage. Too narrow to get in/out of the car.
