love both of them man. very good. a beautiful car doesn't hurt lol

Nice reflections in it. It really pops out.

Imola Red has to be one of my favorite bmw colors of all time. Some pretty good shots. Although I find the excessive foreground a little distracting considering theres not much going on there. Seems like you could also use a little more fill light towards the front of the car.

One of my favorite cars.

Caspita nailed it. Nice photos, but a little less foreground (especially on the first) and some fill to make the front end pop more would be excellent. I would also close the sunroof and rear vent windows. Those break up the lines of the car when opened. Also, Imola is a little darker red than that. Might want to check the histogram.

But otherwise, nice composition and overall nice work!

Beautiful!

Thanks for comments.

Whats the best way to partially brighten the car without sacrificing the quality of the image and having it turn grainy??

Nice light on these.

Shoot in RAW

I like these and as a former E46 M3 owner I definitely love the car. I do agree with Caspita on the foreground though.

I built a drag car and picked up a 2010 Acura CSX Type-S for daily driving. Honestly, I loved the M3 but I hated the repair bills haha
