Photoshoot, BMW M3 coupe

[komotar]

this is one big ass post

about the car?

Well since I haven't driven the previous M3, I really can't compare, but this car feels awesome to drive, the handling is sublime, especially at the limit

the power delivery is über smooth and the point where the back end starts to let go is so smooth I just couldn't belice it... the drifts are easily controlable, and also when driving fast trough the corners, when not going sideways, it's a great expirience ... maybe the steering is not as sharp as let's say the one in a carrera, but in some wierd way, it'd doesn't take away from the whole M expirience.

The engine note is really cool, also when just standing in newtral, the silent V8 GRRRR is present imo only when standing still, when going for it, it really sound't more like a really strong V6, it's a rasp but powerfull noise ...

the looks are spot on IMO, waay better than the limo, but you allready knew that and the really good thing is, that when you use it normaly just like an every day car, it's very civil ...

it's a great machine, I'd write more, but as usual, I'm in a hurry

I hope you like the pics, some of them are good, some of them are there just because I like them ...

[mayer]

Sweet pictures man! Thanks for sharing. Those shots are way better than the official, "professional" ones from BMW's intro. They should have hired you. You've got my vote if any of these make it into next month's Photo of the Month contest. :thumbup:

Great work Komotar! Lovely car and wonderful pics. :thumbup:

Love the color but not the wheels. These look too similar to the old 5-series wheels IMO.

[fabro_s]

Dude, I want you to take a plane, and come and visit me so you can take that kind of exceptional, beautiful, amazing pics to my car :drool:.....

[Vansquish]

The one at the auto show here in Detroit had leather that was already a terrible mess from all the people climbing in and out of it over the course of the week...it's sad to say, but I'd almost want to put a cover on the seats if it's going to get that worn in such short order (and yes, I realize that this is an exaggerated situation what with probably a couple thousand+ people climbing into the driver seat alone over the course of the week)
