That really is MPRESIV. I like everything about that car. The colorl, the yellow calipers, body kit all around etc. Very clean. Looks like a car right out of a video game. Best M3 I've ever seen.

One of the nicest M3s around. My only dig has always been the yellow calipers. Black would have been perfect to my eye.

Full frame SLR with a 16mm lens = plenty of perspective distortion. The picture will stretch at the edge of the frame so that's what's giving the wierd lean effect.

That, and his camber is pretty negative to begin with.

oh no, photo wars w/ Dan Martin . I know what you mean but come on now, you can't blame this on camber.... this is like the worst such distortion I ever seen.

It's definitely perspective distortion. 16mm is extremely wide on a full frame body. When you use such a wide lens at close range, it gives objects a "fun house" appearance.

And his camber is off.

Here's an example of perspective distortion (scroll halfway down): http://www.the-digital-picture.com/R...ns-Review.aspx

It's a 10-22mm on a 1.6x crop body, which gives the same FOV as a 16mm lens on a full frame body.

He's gotta have 35K in mods on that car. Just don't pull a Tom Cruise and let it slide into the water! ( a la "Risky Business style")

That car is beautiful. I just signed up so I can ask him where he took his pics. I've been looking for a good spot like that around here. The pics, especially by the lake are awesome.

I hate 'em cuz I can't have one.


I would honestly LOVE to have an M3. The parts available for these cars to look and perform even better is crazy, as is evident by this beautiful machine. I wish!
