08' e92 AW M3 photoshoot Dec 2011

armyav8tor · 01-01-2012, 09:37 PM

My first attempt at pretending to be a photographer.

Let me know what you think.

tommy94gt · 01-01-2012, 10:31 PM

Beautiful pictures, you captured the same angles I like... Good choice on going without the europlate btw, so much cleaner like that!

Purple88Gold · 01-02-2012, 12:48 AM

Not bad. Keep it up and you might just get addicted.

FVM3 · 01-02-2012, 05:47 AM

nice shots

jonasaurus · 01-02-2012, 05:53 AM

Clean ride, nice pics. No plates on the front looks good :P

armyav8tor · 01-02-2012, 07:00 AM

Thanks for the comments and I like how my other thread is bleeding over to this one, LOL! But sorry to disappoint, the front plate will go back on at some point. Either by me moving back to Germany as a duty station choice or I don't and I stick it back on as a momento as NYC Drifter puts it. I'm still in shock at the reaction/ emotions a front license plate can bring. I can handle the, "it looks like shit" comments but the rest of the stuff is irrelevant, unnecessary and uncalled for IMO.

armyav8tor · 01-02-2012, 07:12 AM

Here's a photo of the car going through the mini karussell taken by a professional. Still no love for the front plate?

MikeyBMWM · 01-02-2012, 07:20 AM

Looks like ZCP, good job!

THE TECH · 01-02-2012, 11:50 AM

Nice car.

Falcon23 · 01-02-2012, 11:57 AM

I like the seventh and eighth pictures

Thanks! Pic #7 and #8 are also my favorites from this set!

I could have gone in another direction but nothing beats OEM. The ZCP wheels look better than BBS IMO and the weight is pretty competitive to the aftermarket offerings at the same price range. The LCI lights took about a month to grow on me when it first appeared but now I can't stop staring at them, there's so much going on with the light bars and LEDs. Finally, I switched out the matte black grille for Edition front grilles and side markers to finish out the look. I'm still on the fence about the Performance splitters and rear spoiler but they are also growing on me. But for now, I'm enjoying this look.

Nice!

datbimmerdoe · 01-03-2012, 07:31 PM

great shots!

mdosu · 01-03-2012, 08:07 PM

Actually, one pointer for what it's worth, try not to take pics of your car on front of trees/poles/signs/statues, makes it look like it's sprouting up from the car.

Watercooledind Wheels · 01-03-2012, 08:26 PM

Nice pics! What camera do you shoot with?
