Last days of Black Beauty

E93MAC · 12-02-2014, 02:51 PM

These are the last days you will see her in Jet Black. She's getting wrapped in Satin White very soon.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer, so I know some may comment and say I used the wrong settings, pointed the camera the wrong way etc etc.

But I did the best with what I have. A Nikon D5100, with a Kit 18-55mm lens and a Prime 50mm lens. Oh and Lightroom for editing hehe. It was raining (finally) in California, so I just decided to shoot in the rain haha.

Thanks for looking.

Looking forward to the Satin White!

Can't wait, by far my most favorite e93!

What wheels are they?

Did you have them custom painted? ... looks like the "lip" is silver, but the face is either gunmetal or black? Or is it the lighting?

Either way, the car looks awesome. I am not a 'vert guy myself, but yours is one I actually really like.

Oh, and you have the right color as-is... no need for white! ... even though satin white wraps do look really good too.

Thank you

The steering wheel is the BMW Performance V2 Steering wheel it has RPM LED's and a LCD screen in the middle to track oil temp, 1/4 mile times, water temp, and about 100 other functions that I barely use lol. I just purchased it for the thicker M3 grip and cool flashy lights...like a moth to the flame haha. Not sure it would fit but I can't see why it wouldn't. Maybe contact the dealer? It's an OEM BMW part.

It's actually a Vorsteiner trunk and it's my 3rd one. They had finish problems, fitment problems, weave issues. You name it. I actually had to paint over this one because even though the finish was flawed it fit the best. $2495 for a trunk. You'd think it would be perfect right? Lol. But it is a beautiful trunk

I like it much more than the Duke Dynamics one.

They are BC Forged wheels. Model HB-04 they have a custom finish on it. I'm not sure what kind as a customer ordered them and then purchased an M3 so I picked them up.

Thanks. I always wanted white but received a really good deal on this. One of the reasons I'm wrapping it. If I don't like it I can always go back to black

but I think the white will set off all my Carbon fiber pieces nicely.
