Good one. I might have tried to get the building to fill in that hole at the left?

[curtc]

might have been a good idea, but i got too lazy to move my car as the security guard was looking at me funny

originally, i was trying to get both buildings in the picture

Is that orange reflector on the wheel arch part of its Americanisation? The European 3s don't have that.

It is a very pretty looking car indeed! Unfortunately it's not a car for everyone in this country of high taxes called Denmark. The price is about $275.000.

Anyway, I think the sun-light in the pictures is a bit too harsh and has resulted in burned out areas. Otherwise it's a nice job.

[willy b]

is that $275,000 (thousand)!!!

[Kristian]

Yes, you're absolutely right, 140,000 pounds. The cheapest VW Golf-version (1.4 liter engine) costs 22,000 pounds here!

(sorry OP for going off topic)

yeah, america requires yellow reflectors for safety and since they put clear corners on the lights, they have to add the reflectors

i like it so far, my only complaint is that it doesn't come stock with the dinan flash..

Jeez!!! What do you guys drive, ox and cart? That's outrageous!!!

[ChrisR]

My god Im sure there must be some mistake in the price - I thought we were the worst done to here in the UK !

Nice to see a fellow BMW driver :) - Nice motor.

[vmarcus]

$275,000? Are you talking USD here?

You can get a well-equiped 335 in the US for about $50,000.

ballin'!

The danish state imposes a duty of 180 percent of the original price, before the cars get to the dealers. That is about the highest in the world.
For example, the price of a new Jaguar XK coupe is 66,000 GBP when it gets here, but with the taxes and all the other stuff added, it ends up costing nearly 170,000, which is insane.

[ChrisR]

Feeling inspired with all this talk of cars and think I'll get out to take some photos of mine when I get a few moments this week. Nice way to start the new year maybe.

[ChrisR]

Ok, so I took the car for a clean - grabbed my camera equipment and went looking for a good place to shoot some photos of my car. After driving around for a few hours I found an old gravel car park which was empty. I wondered around the car for a few mins - changed my lens - moved the car - and then took a few photos. This is the end result.

As my school report once read - 'Could do better'. (I blame the conditions :) )

I actually like the grayish weather. Adds to the mood and you avoid harsh light and shadows. Also, the longer focal length blurs the for- and background nicely.

Beautiful car btw! What engine?

[ChrisR]

24v supercharged double overhead widget ... honest ... oh, ok - its a 320i.
