This is twice now, that you're showing how much of an ignorant dumbass you are.

Oh...and for all the people whining and moaning, this is the jackass that decided to start attempting to sling insults. He likes to post and run away.

Because you can't be mature enough to just let something go? I mean, this isn't really that big of a deal. Haha.

I have always wondered how it was possible to get such a high post count. It is now CLEAR to me how to do so.

I love how people such as yourself try and use post count as insult, yet here you are doing that same shit, getting yours up as well. Its really quite brilliant.

Give the photographer some suggestions for his next photoshoot. I think he's wanting to learn some techniques from the professionals. Maybe I can learn something too!

Some of us are trying to stay on topic. Others, not so much.

I've been banned before. And then, I returned! I felt like a part of me was ripped out. lol

He didn't ask for suggestions until today, and this thread is too far off the rails to even attempt critique.

You want to learn, post your photos as ask, its not hard. You aren't going to learn anything if you don't shoot.

Not taking sides here or anything. Going back and looking things over, it looks like things were "let go" until this post started it all up again:

Yeah it was ME. This guy.

I wanted to ask the pro king dick around here if he was upset with all the 3rd gen people coming over into his section. It appears he's upset about it. It's bound to happen because i mean fuck, look at what most of the people are rolling up to the acurazine meets in. 3rd gen TLs represent by a landslide at almost every meet in every state. It's entirely unproportional. 3rd gen TL owners are going to posting more and more and more dude. That's all there is to it. If you're upset about this, you should just run for the hills and find another forum. Maybe, a prius of challenger one, or a pro fotog one, or something.

This color combo is not for everyone, but I must admit it looks pretty sick in person. Photos are taken with Canon XSi; rolling shots are Sigma 10-20 and stills are Canon 50mm f/1.8.










It's never too late for a critique in a thread.

The subject is fantastic in your photos. A brilliant red M3. It's wonderful. Replica wheels, so be it. Buddy probably couldn't go hard on an authentic set. Or perhaps he lives in an area where volk te37s get snatched off cars overnight and was afraid of that happening. Who knows. Maybe the varstoeens are his beater wheels. Fuck it. It's a beautiful red M3.

Next time you shoot it, try a different background. I like the ones you used in these photos because the colors surrounding the M3 contrast very well. I think a red car can be photographed in front of lots of things because red just stands out period. It will look good in front of buildings, trees, the beach, rocks, water, etc.

Your photos are very crisp here, and i love that. There is nothing better than clearly defined lines in a photo. Your bokeh really helped make the subject pop as well.

If you've got some off camera lighting, give that a try.

Overall, job well done. Great photoshoot.

Can't believe this started with a bunch of semantics. This reminds me of people who get worked up when you refer to a vehicle's gas-powered engine as a "motor" and the people who get pissed at that in turn.

The car definitely has potential though, as mentioned before a different color on either the wheels or the car itself would have helped. Not feeling the spoilers but overall E36s just plain look good.

This is rediculous and getting out of hand. One guy has an opinion about one word and it's meaning and everyone gets bent out of shape. State your opinion and move on. There is a LOT of bitching and moaning over nothing going on from all parties. Sarlacc used to get under my skin but I learned to deal with it and actually got to know his personality. Like him or not he offers a lot to the community here. Especially in this photo section. What I can't stand is people saying they will flood this section because of this. If you have no interest, or had no interest before, stay out. There is no reason to start coming here and messing up a truly fantastic section with a lot of great guys with a lot of skills because your feelings were hurt or you have some personal vendetta. Just my two cents.

I keep looking at the photos of this car and I can't help but notice how immaculate the paint looks.

There are no dings or dents along the driver's side from what I can tell.

Agreed. The car looks to be in great shape. The rims and spoiler are not my style and I would like to see them swapped for something with a cleaner look, but that's just my opinion. Also, I would be annoyed with the intercooler slanting down towards the drivers side of the car. Overall though, its an extremely nice car.

I wanna see it in person! I bet it looks better in person. Some cars just look better in person vs pics. (Mine is one!) Even with the color/style contract many of us don't care for. Its clean as hell! Looks better shape then my TL And as local as the shop it reps on the front windshield and as local as the photographer himself, I never seen it around...and I am out and about constantly. Predatorbird, we gotta get together and do a "MINI" shoot.

My favorite M3 model....I like the conservative look, so for me, get rid of the wing, wheels, and fart cannon and I would pimp that all day!

I don't know how you guys have the motivization to keep going back and forth like that!!

I was on a limited time frame and our biggest concern was getting the rolling shots. The location for the stills was the only thing in the area that I felt would give a decent backdrop. We will probably get together again and try to get some photos by the water.

As for the wheels... Yes they are reps, but this car is also his daily. I don't think he wants to drop $3k+ on wheels when these will do the job. The car is making approx 475hp on his daily tune, which is a heck of alot more than most of the TL's on here. I think he has other priorities when it comes to spending money on his car rather than expensive wheels. If more TL's spent more of their money on making power, I doubt they would be rocking their baller wheels.

He knows the IC is crooked and he plans to fix it. He also wants to get the fenders redone to smooth them out. He is already thinking forward and wants his next setup to be 18x10 et13 and 18x11 et25 with proper sized tires and no strange colors.

The car is local to me here, but I believe was built by his good friend at Lutz Performance. His previous car was a turbo M Coupe and now his buddy at Lutz has hid old turbo setup on his M Roadster.

is that roadster the silver one with the maroon/burgundy rag and STANCED out set up? If so, that BIMMER IS HARD AS HELL! That one is a must see IMO! They do have some nice whips over there and seem to produce some mid-hi end performance cars. My friend Jiovanni works with them some. He had the STANCED out 300 with the graffiti roof, another sweet as car.

No videos, I haven't even been for a ride in it yet. This combo obviously won't hook up so he has to switch to his drag setup just to get traction.

Yeah, that's the car. It has gold iForged(?) wheels with polished lip. He recently bought a turbo IS300 for a daily. Both his cars are making some serious power.

I like the photos and I think the car looks good. I would have called it a photoshoot as well, but what do I know?

If the thread continues to be a shit fest it's going to get locked.

STANCED = aggressive staggered stance. HARD AS HELL = suite / sweeeet!

You don't have to be staggered to be "stanced". You just have to be properly lowered and hellaflushed.
