. 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.

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.

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 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!
