New Photoshoot for the M3 - Lots of pics!

Hey guys, did another photoshoot this weekend in the city of Chicago. These pictures are supposedly going on a certain wheel manufacturer's Car of the Month page soon I'm told. Hope you like them!
















My favs..

Awesome pics, but something doesn't look right with those wheels. To me, doesn't flow right with the car.

Awesome car though!

looks great.

although the black paint is kind of a bummer when you have so much aftermarket on the car. the dark paint starts to become frustrating when all you want to do it take a further look at the body mods.

Nice job.

The 1st picture is really the best one, and the horizon (tilt) could be corrected a hair to make it that much better.

The rest of them are good shots, comps, angles....but they all suffer because the car is black and the background is dark. Even the outdoor daytime shots expose a little more for the background and not the car. So much of the car and the detail is lost.

This is a scenario where you could really benefit with shooting HDR. Your car could be made to stand out much much more, and it wouldn't have to have that "fake" HDR look if they are processed well. Obviously, if you had lights it would be even better but its really hard to work that angle in the locations you were shooting.

A lot better IMO, but the blacked windows go with his theme. These pictures are HOT, I love the first one.

great looking M3! I was never a fan of black, but this car is so tastefully modified, I was glued to this page til I ran out of pictures! You did everything right in my book with this M3. rims remind me of the E46 CSL look everyone was going for couple years ago on the E46's...and they look amazing on your E92?

way to represent Chicago too, gorgeous backgrounds in these pics as well!
and really when it comes down to it, its 414HP simply going from A to B...lol


oh and OP, check out SupercarSaturdays.com...i want to see your car there June 6th!!

Very Nice. And HRE does give some mad props. They do make the best wheels, us mere mortals just can't afford them

And OP, your M3 is really nicely done. A lot of people would go overboard, but this is a very good looking 414 HP grocery getter.

Awesome pics. I especially like the last one with Trump Tower in the background. I actually love those wheels.
