Transport 1100 LBS of wood flooring material in M3?

Dougeefresh · 07-30-2013, 12:02 PM

Will I regret doing it? Also, I may need to park it like that for several hours.

EDIT: some people don't seem to read posts other than the first one so here it goes. Home Depot truck rental.

i would say no dont do that. at first i thought you were thinking you could shave 110 lbs by pulling out the flooring in your car.

Dougeefresh · 07-30-2013, 12:13 PM

Updated the title. How about half of that in two trips? That should be OK I would think. It would be like having two overnight buddies in the car.

1MOREMOD · 07-30-2013, 12:15 PM

put it in your gf car just to be safe.

Dougeefresh · 07-30-2013, 12:20 PM

+1 uhaul has a pickup truck or cargo van you can rent

or at home depot, they'll let you rent a truck for $25 for the first hour.

$19 from HD it is. I think it would cost that much alone in gas for M3.

Is this for real? I'm sure you have the hauling power needed, but why not just rent a truck from Home Depot or something like that.

BigMacSmallFries · 07-30-2013, 02:13 PM

Incase anyone wants to know for future reference, I hauled about 850lbs in the m3 last summer. I know this because it was all gym equipment. I got some crazy and surprised looks when i was loading the car. It almost bottomed out. With myself included over a 1000. I have spacers installed and the gap was probably less than 5mm after I loaded the car. Couldn't put a pen in between the rear tire and the fender. Didn't exceed 50kmh, didn't bottom out, no rubbing...

I really doubt I could have added much more weight before bottoming out.

Who says you can't find info on just about anything on the net? Haha

i think they'll only let you rent if if you bought stuff from there...your best bet is uhaul if you bought it from another lumber yard
