Black and Yellow - A nighttime photo shoot in Esquire's Dakar Yellow

davesaddiction · 05-22-2013, 08:06 PM

First and last of the night shots are wicked... And that's coming from someone who's not a huge fan of Dakar.

My favorite color on an M3. Wow, that is breathtaking. I thought my pics looked good, until I saw yours. I think we have three things in common:
- We both own BMWs
- We both have over 500hp (although your's is a lot faster)
- We both have been featured on Bimmerpost

quackman · 05-22-2013, 08:08 PM

That looks incredible! the car and the photos! Piano Black trim goes great with that yellow exterior.

Where'd you get the M-tricolor stitched shift and brake boots from? I've seen M-stitched stuff advertised before, but it usually looks badly done and in the wrong colors. Not yours though!

N-Y · 05-22-2013, 08:08 PM

WOW!!!!

DLSJ5 · 05-22-2013, 08:09 PM

Good stuff Broksi.

Prissy · 05-22-2013, 08:09 PM

Gosh... so nice..

FR01 · 05-22-2013, 08:15 PM

I sense a familiar presence in the force.

Megabeast · 05-22-2013, 08:16 PM

Great photos!

Did you use multiple flashes or umbrellas?

anderson616 · 05-22-2013, 08:16 PM

The car has turned out to be a work of art with nothing short of meticulous details addressed. It is one of those cars that needs to be seen in person to genuinely be appreciated. There are so many fine details in regards to setup and execution that everyone should have the privilege of seeing.

It's been nothing short of a blast to build this car up for you and get it to where you have always wanted it to be. The best part is, it's not even finished and there are a subset of modifications coming that will be mind blowingly awesome. You and I are both sticklers for details and perfection and I think we are there with this car.

This Dakar Yellow M3 has undergone such a strict quality control process with fitments, panel fitment, S/C installation, suspension setup & etc that it could pass as an OEM car.

-Malek

Thanks for the kind words man, and more importantly thanks for installing the supercharger with the attention to detail, and unrivaled Forced Induction knowledge that you did. MRF is doing great Forced Induction work.

Thanks for the compliments man, especially coming from a guy who doesn't like Dakar that much

Haha. I should hope we both own BMW's if we're both on this forum. What kind of a car do you have?

Got the tri-stitched M-DCT boot from IND. You can get more details about it by clicking the pic in my Signature - it links directly to my build thread, which discussed the tri-stitched boots as well.
