My new Mineral White M3 ZCP

Templar · 09-21-2010, 07:30 AM

Yes, you'll notice that with a new car the brake dust will collect like crazy on the wheels. Nothing a quick rinse and a brush or towel won't remove though!

Also, gotta love all the bug splatter on the front! Not really, lol, but not much you can do!

congrats. beautiful!

Gorgeous pictures, Ludo! I really like the looks of Mineral White on your beautiful M3! I love the looks of the 359M ZCP wheels too. I was thinking of buying a set of the 359M rims to put on my convertible when I get it (in about 6 weeks!). I would be interested in knowing if your rims are difficult to clean. I have a 2008 550i MSport now and the rims on it require a lot of time to keep clean.

Stunning!! Congrats man, she is a thing of beauty!!!

Robmaster · 09-24-2010, 03:45 AM

nice!

where in Swiss did you live? Visp?

i also own a Porsche 944 few years back...

and there is a "Ghost" in the middle of the pic...

fastrack · 09-24-2010, 11:28 AM

Very nice car and pics, i got MW as well, 4 weeks to go

Hedoniste · 09-25-2010, 08:29 AM

Thx for your comments ! Glad that you like my car & pics

@ astroguy: It's a pain to keep clean those wheels.
@ Robmaster: I live in Montreux during weeks and in Sierre during weekends. Where are you from? 944 are great cars! Very well balanced and funny to drive. I sold mine to my bro. Car is in a really good shape (it's a 1985.5 944):

Awesome pictures, Ludo!

May I ask what camera/lenses were you using for these night pictures? They are really awesome looking. They have made me want to try some full moon pictures too when I get my car. I assume many were done with a tripod? (thanks in advance!

)

datbimmerdoe · 09-25-2010, 05:27 PM

@ ALL the new pics.

Barnsleyshaun · 09-27-2010, 07:04 AM

That looks fantastic - pics are superb - my E92 Mineral White arrives this Friday, I ordered the colour blind and have still not seen the colour in the flesh yet so was getting worried and having second thoughts wondering if I had done the right thing - you have just put my mind at rest - the next 4 days are gonna drag!!

It's a long exposure photograph. I'm assuming that is Ludo in the picture and he moved to that position or from that position during a portion of the long exposure.

jbm3 · 09-27-2010, 09:49 AM

Excellent comments from everyone ... Now I am very relaxed about MW.

Ludo .... Those are sick pics! Someone should fwd to BMW Corp and hire Ludo ... Awesome! Want to come to Los Angeles for a vacation mid October with your camera when i pick up my new baby Ludo? Many thanks!

10M3MAN · 09-27-2010, 10:36 AM
