Past and Present BMW's

Some of these pics are pretty old but since I am new here I thought I would just post some of the pics of my and my friends BMWs that I have taken over the years.

Unfortunately most of these are very old (before I ever had strobes and just had flashes). I hope to shoot more cars soon, it's been too long.

Friends M5:





My current car/equipment hauler:





Friends E30 M3 with 4k miles on it, yes 4k.







My old E46 M3:







Excuse the watermark on these pics, they were for a client.





My old 1995 M3:

BTW, OP's former e46 M3 was my favorite on bf.c.

@OP, were you just shooting with two flashes? Specifically on the e30 M3?

Well these were all taken before I had strobes so I just used flashes and pocket wizards. I have a Nikon SB-28, Canon 430EX and 2 580EXII's. I now use strobes though.

Thanks man, I miss my avus M3 so bad, but to be honest I miss my '95 M3 much more :(

And yes two flashes for the E30 shots

e39's are still VERY good looking but the e60's V-10 is unreal. Plus now after having like 5 yrs, I'm used to that body style, which of course is now changing next year.

I also love the tail lights of the newer e60's (Eagle eyes). So cool looking.

I use Alien Bee B800 strobes, I have not even shot a car using strobes yet! I really want to, I'll do it soon enough.

also, i agree with this. the E39 M5 is my favorite car of all time; more than any other car from any other manufacturer, ever.
