Photoshoot E90 M3 w/HRE 590R's (no 56k!!)

Not sure where to post this but I guess the competitor in its class (C63) would probably be the closest thing. Just wanted to share some pictures of a friend's brand new Alpine White E90 M3 that I shot a few weeks ago. If you wish to save the hi-res version, please append _1600 to the filename right before the extension. For example IMG_0066.jpg = IMG_0066_1600.jpg. Enjoy.

Mods
-20x11 20x9 HRE 590R with over 4" lip in the rear
-305 and 255 width Pirelli Tires
-3D Design Carbon Fiber Front Lip
-RD Sport Lowering Springs
-Painted sidemarkers
-More mods to come...

We'll start out with some of the typical pics then some fun with the sun pics.

YUK! So glad i got my C63, this car looks wimpy, not proportioned for some reason, though they are nice pics, why dont you find yourself another friend and take some C63 pics, you camera will thank you.

LOL! I don't like the rear of either car so it's a toss-up.

Excellent photos. Even though I own a 335tt and think its a great car, I still think that ALL 3 series e90's are not aggressive looking at all from the side and from behind. The headlights/front facia on the coupe is the only thing aggressive looking about the car.

Those taillights are f'ing hideous on the 4dr sedans......belong on a Pontiac.

That is a beautiful car, job well done. Hopefully he leaves it like that and doesn't go overboard.

As always amazing pics sdsilverm3 !

I think the M3 coupe & C63 looks better than the sedan, but a great car nonetheless.

Not a lot of bias in this thread at all. Really, none. Tons of maturity.

Nice. I'd be a bit scared of exiting parking lots and damaging that expensive lip.

CLK 500(Gone), C63 FTW!

I LOVE THE COLOR COMBO! That was exactly I wanted for my C63!

I love the coupe better than the sedan. It just more "M3" than the Sedan.

Nice wheel too
