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

flea333 · 05-22-2013, 09:55 PM

Damn dude! Gorgeous! Would love to drive an ESS tuned M3...alas I'll be leasing.

How did you get that piano black center console trim? Man do I want that! I might replace my carbon leather with full piano if I could.

Where do you get that different style trunk?

What are those angel eyes?

Thanks for the new wall paper in my office! The trunk and the lip compliment each other very well. I've always thought Phoenix Yellow on the Type-R was the best yellow I've ever seen. That being said yours looks amazing as well. Beautiful build and very tasteful.

What are those angel eyes?

1) I know more than a few leased M3's that are supercharged.

2) The piano black center console was done custom by C&C collision in Alhambra - they specialize in custom M3 work. For more info on this click the pic on my signature which will lead you to my build thread which discusses the center console in detail.

3) The rear trunk is by Vorsteiner -

4) The angel eyes as well as the blackout in my headlamps was done by a company called OSS Designs. You can get more info about that also by checking out my build thread. Again, just click the pic in my sig.

Hope that helps

Is that because they intend to buy? I'd imagine they'd say, sorry we don't service this car if you brought it in too.

ron_jeremy · 05-22-2013, 11:55 PM

Stunning car and pictures!
The M3 looks that bit more special in this paint imo, abit more "lethal" somehow, great choice of everything!
Enjoy the car, it's epic!

Gorgeous. I am in love.....

bimmerjph · 05-23-2013, 12:33 AM

I love the trunk from behind, but it looks kind of weird on side shots.

Overall great pictures and a great car!

Looks like you took my advice with that location. Good spot right?

Shot an FRS ad for a client the past weekend there:
