Did you see the rubber launch marks on the floor? Looks like it was BMW made... Parking lot cleared...:roflol:

nice pics :thumbs:

how'd you clear out the entire parking lot :fencelook:

But seriously, your car is amazingly clean! Looks better then when it left the factory!
That is why the e46 is still the sexiest 3series made! :thumbs:

clean as fcuk :bravo::thumbs:

what you got on your tires, looks lekker wet :thumbs:

It's just Meguires Endurance Tire Gel. I think the lighting in these shots make the finish look a bit more wet than normal.

Super sexy , your car has like no stone chips at all hey raise: And nice angles :thumbs:

Well, the front bumper actually does have some little chips, they just don't show in the pics. The bonnet is nice and clean though.

how'd you clear out the entire parking lot :fencelook:

This particular area in this lot is always empty.. its the basement level. Works really well as a location.

Haha, no no, I value my rear tires Thanks for the compliment, though the car does have one or two little scratches if you scrutinise it.

I will have to show off the interior sometime - it's equally clean. I also think that the E46 is a timeless design.

Thank you. I must admit, I am feeling a lot better about the shots now. I think the reason I wasn't happy was that if you look for my old photo threads, you'll see I shot my previous car in teh same location, and the shots/angles are pretty much the same... :/ I was annoyed that I couldn't come up with anything new.

[Bavs108]

Stunning pics dude:thumbs: I know the feeling when you want to take some shots, but you don't feel very creative. I hate that feeling. In fact, that's the reason why I've been putting off doing a shoot with my car:nonono:

Did you do much editing to the pics? Your car looks almost white under florescent lights, but stunning nonethelessraise:

Im my opinion, its as close to a brand new E46 330i that I have ever seen.

Credit should be given to MOO5E as well, as the owner before SPEEDYV.

Hi Bavs,

Yea I obviously to post processing, but not a whole lot. I basically do white balancing, exposure correction, and add contrast. That's it.

Under these lighting conditions the car does look a little lighter than in person - the highlights from the lights blow out easily, but the silver is quite light in general so the pics aren't far from reality.

EDIT: Are you viewing the pics on a calibrated monitor? I have seen pics like these before on certain LCD monitors which make silver/greys look like white.
