My new M3 Coupe

GregW / Oregon · 03-16-2008, 06:27 PM

Picked it up 3/14; first customer car for Rasmussen BMW, Portland. Love so far. Had the time (and weather) to take a few quick shots today. I discovered just how hard it is to get Fox Red to look like it does to the eye, even with a Nikon D300 and Photoshop. It's a little more terra cotta than orange, though hard to tell in the photos. I'll get better shots when the weather clears up.

!Xoible · 03-16-2008, 06:54 PM

man when i had my 335 i was trying to prevent my ass from pushing down on the seat like that. i almost did a cosmetic surgery to remove my ass so it doesnt do that to the seat.... i thought the so-called Novillo leather > 335's POS leather... i guess ... not
