Just curious, what lens/aperture was the last photo taken with, and have you Photoshopped it in any way?
Thanks. It was taken with a Nikon D700 - 24-70mm. No I didn't do any photoshopping just straight out the camera. Aperture was f/4.5 and ISO 1250

What a brilliant looking car that is... I think you've made an extremely good decision moving from your E46 to this, and thats just on the looks alone, I'm sure if I'd driven one then I'd be even more supportive!!

These are a very attractive alternative to an M3, providing you dont need something semi-practical with a reasonable back seat.


Cheers,
Grant

Lovely car mate. Have been tempted to buy one of these myself.
The only thing I'd want to change are the wheels. I prefer the multispokes from the 3.0i. Or even better, I saw one advertised on Pistonheads with CSL style wheels and they looked amazing...

Yes I agree the CSL's do look amazing but I like how easy these are to wash. You can get right to the backs as well so always look like new.

Its an amazing car. I just want to drive it all the time. I sit indoors looking out of the window thinking of a reason why I need to go out.

Obviously a nice driver's car if you just want to take it out for the sake of it.
Unlike my 350Z, although a nice car I don't get that excited about going out in it..

Have my eyes on a B7 RS4 next as I need practicality as well as excitement!

Absoloutely stunning motor! Off topic a bit but just looked at that nikon you have and its nearly as much £££ as i paid for my sti haha got the sti for just over 3k and these clickers are 2k...

I am on the lookout for a decent camera at the moment but one the best side of £300.. Any ideas?..

Yes the Camera and lens cost me £2500. Just the lens was a £1000.

For £300ish i'd recommend this camera. Nikon D60 with 18-55 ED II Lens Digital SLR Camera (VBA210KU01) - Warehouse Express.

DSLR is a whole new world but once you get into it. Is addictive and very expensive but I love it.

If its just a compact you want the Canon G9 or G10 are the best compactas in the world.

Thanks for tall the comments everyone. Glad its well liked by Scoobynet members. Thought i'd get a lot of stick about owning a BMW

Thumbs up

I do love these cars, Black or White the best colours for them, future classic and a classy looking car. I am a fan of the Z3m 'breadvans' as well
