I love the 6-series, but am I the only one that hates those M6 wheels? They look like they should be spinning to start an Evinrude motor on a 14-foot boat instead of on a $100k car. BMW has done a nice job with certain wheels (ex: competition package on the M3) but I hate them.

Yeah awesome area. That BMW M6 looks just like my friends mom's 2005 BMW 645. Pretty sweet car.
Got a Job!
i dunno...the M6 doesn't impress me whatsoever
It doesn't look much diff. from the standard 6ser., and the wheels aren't my favorite. The aggressive look just ain't there...something is missing....
Edit: oh and, the photos aren't all that great

I love the wheels on the M6. As for the photography - I think the photographer was limited by the equipment, in which case they did a decent job.
Edit, as an aside, look how much sexier this Maserati is than the M6! Eat your heart out, Bangle.

I'd like to think I know one or two things about photography... I've definitely seen worse pictures than these from amateurs.
Content of the pictures look amazing to me
, pictures are nice and clear too, so I'm good.

Well, you first sentence combined with the rest of your statement already show you don't know much.

I just glanced at the pictures posted here. I didn't originally read the article until afterwards when I editted to add the thing about the Maserati. I still don't know what body/lens he was using or if he was just using a point and shoot - I didn't see it in the article. Either way like I said, I've seen a lot worse from amateurs and it's a car review, not a photoshoot.
As for not knowing much, I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgement. If you're going to troll car boards and pontificate about photo quality that's one thing, but calling people out on the internet probably isn't the best idea since you don't know a thing about them.
Got a Job!
aight...after going to the website, I retract my statement above. Secstac, the pictures you chose to post don't really show off the beauty of this car that well. There are MUCH better pictures on that site.

I'm not talking about any articles. I never read anything. I am talking about your comments saying the pictures were good. And they are not.Originally Posted by JackieO

As for what camera/lens were used to take the photos. That is completely irrelevant unless, of course, we are talking about a $2 disposable.
It is bad photography. Especially, from a composition POV.
Quick to pass judgement? You bet and I stand by my statement. About not knowing people on the internet...it works both ways

I didn't say they were good, I said they were decent based on my assumption that he was using a relatively cheap point and shoot - and I stand by that. Regardless of the fact that the contrast is blown out, he didn't know what ISO to shoot at, etc... I disagree with you and think he did a half decent job at composing the pictures (most of them), which is a lot more than I can say about 99% of the photos you see online. That's all I was originally saying.
If this guy is a pro running around with a D1 and a 70-200 or something then ya, he blows - but I doubt that's the case. And no, I don't think these belong in a magazine, but they are certainly not terrible. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree and you can just assume I'm some yutz who doesn't know a thing about photography.

I'll just assume you are a yutz who can toss out jargon that really has nothing to do with the context of the criticism.Originally Posted by JackieO

The composition are terrible, and I could take better looking pictures with my SD400...try and talk about limited by equipment...
is Pretty Much a Moron
Cool pictures. Cool enough that it doesn't get me in trouble with JackieO, But not cool enough that it gets me in trouble with sarlacc.

I think half those pictures look like they were taken with a disposable camera.
And I still think the trunk line on the current generation bimmers (this M6 included) looks like shit.
