haha yeah the next teaser will be 5 pixels larger

Here is a little teaser ... I have some finishing touches to do and printing to sort out yet. I anticipate delivery end of November all going well. Kaz hurry up and send me the high res of your photo!

A BIG thanks to everyone who sent in their photos! The winners have been selected by a panel of discerning judges and I have emailed them to inform them. To all of those who didn't make the cut, you should know it was a hard decision, especially between all the E30 photos (we don't want too many). Keep up the photography! I'll be polishing off the calendar this weekend and getting it ready for print in time for December. I have put a few important dates on the calendar but I'm open to suggestions for other more bmw / motorsport relevant events ... Choice

I'll give you 6k ...

Hey everyone, I have been through all the photos tonight and am impressed with the quality of the majority of entries. Like Josh said, Entries are open for a few more days until the end of this week so hopefully we get a few more entries to choose from.

Well done Glenn. Hooray for being healthy ... now we need to talk about this bacon addiction of yours. One addict to another.

Hey everyone, keep the entries coming in! Last week his week! We haven't had a massive amount of entries so far so you have a good chance of featuring on the calendar.

I've upped my email quota but you should still be able to send pics through. I don't want high res pics emailed to me !!!! screen resolution is all we need for judging, when we select the winners we will request high res pics to be sent through. Look forward to seeing what comes in, don't worry if you think you are a crap photographer, You never know you might just get a good shot anyway!

Hey Everyone, we haven't produced a calendar for the last 2 years but due to many requests we are going to put out a 2013 bimmersport calendar ready for you all to buy as self Christmas presents. Again we want photos of members cars whether they are individual shots or shots with more than 1 car. We are keen to see some more 'group' photos again this year. We need to pick 13 fantastic photographs and would like you to submit your pieces of art, photographers will be recognized on the calendar and will receive a complimentary calendar. Owners of the cars photographed will be recognised also if appropriate. Specs for photos are: 8MPX or larger (approx 3600 pixels wide) email lo res copies of your photos to ollie@bimmersport.co.nz Final Deadline: Sunday 7th of October Calendars will go on sale again in November - price to be confirmed. Just a few tips about taking good photos. - Take them in as high qaulity as possible. Print standards dictate atleast 300dpi and above 8 mpx. - Include sexy girls in the photo where possible. - Dont muck around with colours or anything in photoshop, leave that to us as it going to require the correct balance for print. Also do not crop the photo, leave that to us because we need bleed etc. - When you take / submit the photos make sure they are not under or over exposed. Think about framing the shot properly. look at the things in your shot and make sure you dont have too much of white or black (unless your going for that look) - Taking photos on grass is quite tricky, the colour green doesnt go with much and just ends up reflecting onto paint and spoiling colour balance of the photo. - Taking photos under trees with poor light also can be very hard to get right. - Would be great if the cars are clean, or extremely dirty/snowy when you photo them check out photos from previous years on the bimmersport facebook page (make sure you like the page)

Nice work, there are some awesome pics there, have liked your page. feel free to post the odd one on Bimmersports facebook wall now and then - bimmersport on facebook

Love this thread!

Yus progress! If you do end up templating your own bars Tony I can throw them into CAD and get the bars NC bent for you. Fast accurate and cheap. Could go as far as getting all the plate parts laser cut too. Let me know if you are keen.

As the title suggests, I would like to buy some 15" basket weaves 4x 100. ollie@bimmersport.co.nz | 027 544 8699

Happy Birthday April! hope you had a goody!

Awesome video, awesome car! Top job guys!

The real bimmersport calendar will be back this year! We'll be running the bimmersport member photo competition as in the past. we struggled the last couple of years to get sponsorship to cover the printing costs. Victor get in touch and we can can collaborate with you on this.

which will be fastest around the top gear track .... BMW i8 or the Honda NSX?

The car is looking awesome dude! and looks like it drives well round the track! sweet photos too

I think it's awesome, good on bmw for having the balls to take such an extreme car to production. It is futuristic but somehow it is not too outside the box. I'm saving up for one! The future is exciting!

Awesome!

Yeah I'm heading down on the Saturday. get out of the barn and come down, we could have beers after.

SOLD ...

Heck no!!I'm changing to a GPS based timing system (aka iphone) has incar video capability too I'm also preparing the car for tarmac rally events rather than just circuit racing, I want to do one of the 2 day Targa events soon.

Hey Steve, looking awesome dude, can't wait to see the finished result, pushing it for bambina but fingers crossed. What events are you thinking of running in other than targa's, which clubsport events did you have in mind? Are you going to be at HD on saturday? it'd be good to catch up
