E89 - width with doors wide open?

Has anyone ever measured how wide the E89 is with the doors fully open? I can't find that figure anywhere. I'm trying to work out dimensions for a garage.

Maybe it would be cheaper to get Lambo doors than a wider garage?

Thanks B21, that is helpful to know that 4.5m external isn't enough.

Does anybody else know the actual width of the car with doors fully open?

I would measure my car with doors open, but its in the garage and I only have space to open driver door half way with the golf cart next to it. Will try to get a measure this weekend.

OK, with the help of DW, got the measure. Driver Door edge to Passenger... 11' 8", or 140 inches. I debated taking the measure from passenger side to driver! ��
Hope this helps.

So in metric that is a full open wing span of 3.56m.

Thanks for your help.
