Pictures of my C55 and Dut's M3 (56k go away)

Here are some pictures that Dut and I took today. Probably our last session with his M3 as it is 99.9% sold. There are more pictures but it's New Years and I've gotta go! Dut also has more pics along with motion pics so those will be posted later. Enjoy.

I love BBS rims and gold rims. They look so nice!

What kind of camera and lens did you use to take those pictures?

white and whiter
dut bought sold the M3 and bought a EK9 for some investment reasons as he says on e46.

IMO his car's front is way too low. lower the car is one thing, but making it looks like it's broken it another. His rear's setup perfect tho.

Love the pictures and your car sdsilverm3

Looking sweet!!! By the looks of it, all of the troubles with the coilovers install were totally worth it!

Excellent pictures You have a very high quality camera. Both white cars are so cleanly modified.

What building is that in the background?

HA! But no! I think the gold is actually pretty nice... I'm not a fan of the CSL bumper, but I do really like the way that M3 looks. The gold is a nice change from black.

Thanks for the compliments everybody. It was well worth the effort to make the coilovers work but it still isn't as low as Dut's front. Some might not like Dut's height in the front but I think mine needs to come down just a teeny bit more...when parked anyway. Hopefully it settles in the next couple days and I won't have to do anything.

Ricky, I used a mixture of cameras. Some were taken with a Canon Pro1 while some were taken with a Canon 20D w/ a Sigma EX 30mm F/1.4 lens. Dut was using his 20D with 70-200mm F4L lens. You can see the difference with the L lens. Comes out a lot smoother and with excellent contrast.

Silver is nice too. That was my 2nd choice but luckily they located my 1st.

Frank got to the question before I did. I don't have any mods other than the KW V2 coilovers and wheels. I think the remaining mods will be minor cosmetic mods such as the Euroteck CF lip. I think I'm done with the car otherwise. Yeah right...famous last words. :p

Thanks Frank. I think his car looks perfect in person. The "rake" is more pronounced in pictures making it subjective to certain people.

First picture is Intuit and to the right of that is the WFI building. I Photoshopped the logos out. No free advertising! Right Ricky? Haha j/k.

I know I NEED them but I don't know how I will be able to straighten out my camber without the tires rubbing the fenders 24/7. I'm going to get a regular 4 wheel alignment and see how long the tires last me before making a decision on doing the camber correction.

Actually the pics looks very good in both sets.

As for the photochopping, I think the company names would detract from the cars

Well, you are certainly correct there. Anything is a nice change from black.LOL

The Best Looking AW C55 Hands Down. I love the wheels and the drop.

Duts M3 never looks bad. Both cars are awesome to look at. You guys sure know how to mod these cars !

I love this rolling shot
