Bored on a gloomy day off

STooK · 05-19-2015, 01:51 AM

I was off from work and the sun wanted to hide in the clouds all day so I decided to dust off my DSLR and take some photos of the M3. The good news is that overcast days actually are the best days for a photo shoot because there's no direct sunlight!

My car looks pretty much the same as last year, except I had the splitters installed during the winter. I also ditched the CF mirror caps and went back to stock (looks much better IMO). My goal with the car is to have a clean OEM+ look so eventually I want to get springs and spacers. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the car and happy I can finally drop the top! Anyway, hope you guys like the pics.

Nice clean look. That's kind of what I'm going for on my E93 as well

Clean OEM+ look

jra85 · 05-19-2015, 08:55 AM

Love it! I think you should get some M359 ZCP wheels, they look great on E93s and even better with a mild drop. I agree with you on the CF mirror covers, I prefer the contrast of the white caps on my car as well.

Clean E93!!

These were taken on my canon 5D mark 2 using the 100mm f2.8L IS macro lens. Not the first choice in automotive photography but it works pretty well for me.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

I see your car in Fresh Meadows all the time. My dad lives nearby and it's CLEAN!!!

ILB E92 M3 here but always wanted to wrap it white.

Malba!

buddalun · 05-19-2015, 06:31 PM

Really like the photography and car. The CF splitters and CF rear wing balance each other out nicely.

Lol, one day when I hit the lotto I'll get the 359's but right now the 220's will have to do…I'm broke! If I had a CF roof I would've kept the mirrors but for some reason it looked odd on the e93 once I added the splitters.

Thank you! I'm not sure about it being clean, it's filthy most of the time..
