Some Shots of my SSII E92 with my new Canon 6D
I've been wanting a new camera for a while, so when Canon announced their new full-frame 6D I figured I couldn't go wrong. So far I'm more than impressed with it. I debated going up to the 5DMIII, but felt the extra money could be spent on a photography class to help me get the most out of the 6D
I've been holding off on suspension because I keep going back and forth on trading in for a newer M3. The problem is I'm not getting to drive it as much anymore, although it makes each driving experience that much better. Let me know what you guys think

2 - I have never had a car as long as my current M3 (4 years) and I can't believe that I'm buying another one either. A family member wanted to buy my car which made it too easy to sell. On top of that Steve Thomas BMW is nearby and their pricing is great without spending a bunch of time in negotiations. 3 - I looked at my options and I simply think the M3 is the best bang for the buck. As for other options.... Don't want an Audi or Benz, Love the GTR & 911 turbo's but those are out of my price range (only interested in 997) plus I just bought my wife a Porsche Cayman. I also like the idea of having the last of this breed (if I end up keeping it). The 2014 M4 might be something I want but I can always get that later. I don't like paying top dollar for anything so I don't see myself being one of the first to jump on the M4.... That puts me into 2015+ for that car anyway. 4 - My car's warranty is ending this month. 5 - I can transfer most of my modifications, I know all of the in's and out's of the car, it's a proven and reliable car, and the new car will be as "different" as I can make it (coupe vs. sedan, dct vs manual, black vs red interior, etc.). Enough reasons for you?

I have modded this one slightly and its not like I'm scared to... I had a 335 that was heavily modded. Given that I plan to keep an E9x M3 for a while, I'd like to have one with the factory warranty (mine just expired in August), and have the newer CIC iDrive (mine is the older CCC version), which I think could potentially be a larger problem in the future with [private] resale than most of us '08 owners might think), and given the cold temperatures in winter here, heated seats would be a nice option. I'm very happy with this car, so it honestly hasn't been a decision I'm necessarily worried about. I just remember having suspension on my last car made trading it a little bit more of an issue because of timing/scheduling.

The Canon EF 24-105mm with Image Stabilizer. It came with the kit. I was debating getting the new Tamron 24-70 with vibration control, but changed my mind last minute. Honestly these were among the first 20 shots I've taken with the camera (all were on Auto), so I only say don't base any decision off of them

Great photos. Love SSII under different lighting.
I'm thinking of taking a photography class too. Been contemplating it for 2 years. I have a Canon 50D. I haven't used it to it's full potential yet. |

Nice car! Black ZCP wheels are a nice touch as well. The newer tail lights would make the car look completely different
You definitely need to polish your exhaust tips though, they look dull
