-2003 BMW M Roadster

I'll get pics of them at some point, been trying to get the Bentley out forever, I love that car.

Here are some new pics of the M3.
Installed painted reflectors and BMW-installed OEM Performance black kidneys:





Thanks for looking!!

Photo shoot at your house!

So I got some word that I MAY be able to get my parts installed finally, though I'm not getting hopes up until I get the official news. Hopefully I can take care of it before the Stamford meet.

So yeah, just got the 1200 service done today. Only hit redline once (or twice), as I'm trying to increase the load to 6500, 7k, 7500 etc. before I routinely take it up there. Not sure if I should be doing that, but it just makes sense.

Anyway for those of you looking for pics of other cars, I took 2 of the Bentley for you. I have a video of me starting it up and revving the exhaust, but frankly the thing sounds kind of like a muffled jet, not too impressive with my iphone mic if you know what I mean.

Again, the Bentley is a GT Coupe SPEED, with 600+hp and 500+lb/tq. It may just be the ultimate car aside from the M3, when you take practicality, speed, and luxurious into account (my pops uses it as his snow car because it's 4wd).

Anyway here's the PICS!!!! I'm thinking I need a new lens, and for some reason all my HDR's are coming out kind of soft looking -- not really out of focus, just soft. If anyone has tips let me know.

[John Tanglewood]

maybe need a fresh thread.

must be nice to have all those cars in the garage, lol

[John Tanglewood]

The M3 and the M Roadster have to sleep outside usually. Sucks.

Well, I ended up getting a new lens, a wide angle, for my d80. I decided to go with the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for the fast speed and great overall quality. This lens is damn fast, and I have quickly learned that this is going to require a HUGE learning curve :devil::devil: When I get off work it's dark, and when I get off early it's raining. No real good time to test it yet....

Couple pics from today..

Right out of box, unedited.... Bokeh!!!

Haha why a pair? Pretty sure 1 is more than enough.

Thanks Red, as I said the shots are pretty much untouched, and I havn't even gotten the chance to get anything in good daylight. Hopefully this weekend will give me a good chance to put it through its paces.

[Sean@PYSpeed.com]

wow nice DBS! Hope to see more pictures

[datbimmerdoe]

[John Tanglewood]

Thanks,

I'll be sure to have more pics of the DBS before all the leaves fall off.... Fall leaves make awesome photoshoots.

[John Tanglewood]

This one was played with a bit, think it came out much better.
