Post Detail Pics

M.A.R.C. · 06-30-2014, 12:07 AM

Had M3 car for about a month now and finally got a friend to give it a relatively quick detail job. I hadn't taken any good pics of the car yet so I figured I'd take some right after. Photos taken with a Olympus OM-D E-M5 for anyone who's into photography stuffs:

Ironically, i always wanted a coupe but liked the sedans as well. I was changing from an S2000 and an Infiniti Q50 mainly because I wanted ONE car to have fun AND practicality and when I actually got to feeling out a coupe, there's no way that would have been practical for me. Happy I found this one though

It's still oem. Just a different color option.

This is exactly what I went through. I looked at a total of five coupes, this sedan and one convertible in roughly 7-8 months time of me looking.

fresh!

Do you think upgrading to the black side gills matter much? I have a silver car, so I retained OEM, mostly b/c the chrome blends in so well

depends on personal preference I guess. I'm not a big fan of chrome accents of any kinda really. my Q50 had this factory chrome window dressing around it that was just awful.

Thanks. I'm in Pembroke Pines... in the southern part of Broward county. Between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale if you don't know the area.

Cool thanks for the edit!

I didn't do too heavy editing on the pics. Mainly sharpness and some shadow recovery. The saturation boost really helped the skies

Split toning, lens correction, and sharpening mask so there arent grainy bits..
